It has been rumoured for a while that Route 415 is being proposed to extend to Old Kent Road Tesco.
Are you in favour?
Do you believe it would have been more appropriate to just increase the PVR of certain routes?
Do you have a suggestion to TFL in regards to a new route that should be created in South East London which would be routed via Old Kent Road?
Will the proposed extension of Route 415 to Old Kent Road Tesco's be enough to accommodate the growing passenger numbers in this geographical location?
Is the capacity issue related to Old Kent Road itself or does a new route need to created to serve roads and communities which branch off from New and Old Kent Road?

They are a bit late - the extension to Old Kent Road, Tesco is happening on 7th March when the 415 goes to Abellio. Until then, from the 10th January, the 172 has extra workings to compensate.

As for the proposal, I'm glad it's being extended as personally, in its current form, it's a waste of resources. The extension also provides a link between Brixton & Old Kent Road which is handy for the massive stores along Old Kent Road such as PC World & Toys R' Us which are nearer than traveling to Purley Way and also provides a south to east link across Elephant & Castle.
