Im using samsung s4. Why? You'd think that with the introduction of autocorrect and gesture typing, you'd at least make a bit of an effort, especially seeing as this is a forum, not WhatsApp.

Reply to networker 93 there is already good service northolt to hounslow 120. Mayb it needs more buses bcz it always pakd between southall and hounslow but the route itself is fine. Were stil trying for ealing to hounslow Other than the comments to the language, are you joking when you say the 120 is adequate? As a literal route, yes, but it's absolutely hell for most of the route. More buses to cover the existing frequency (Southall traffic backing to Southall North), let alone a frequency increase is needed, as 120 is a good routing for a Southall-Hounslow link. Ealing-Hounslow - it's just slightly funny that there isn't a link between those two places.
I've noticed a common change people make (not just schools) - Northfields/South Ealing area (E3) to Uxbridge Road corridor (207/607) or Ladbroke Grove (70). To relieve the peak crowding on both those, there could be a school route that runs between Northfields and Ladbroke Grove, which can be expanded. Or just double deck the 70 when it (hopefully) is extended to Chiswick Business Park. However, although it is a sort of a blessing for that route to be extended, it's possibly the wrong route to be extended.
Ealing to Chiswick, although linked by tube, has awful links as the District line is awful at that end. The Richmond branch has the 391/190 alternative, so why not the Ealing Broadway branch? Then again, extending Route E10 (the original plan) - that could be the wrong route too. It's utilised well to Ealing Broadway from Greenford and Northolt already, so why not add more people to an 8.8m bus(!). This makes a problem - what route is the right route to be extended to Chiswick Business Park from the north? E1? The routing is also a problem - annoyingly Ealing and Hounslow Councils disagreed on a turn from Gunnersbury Lane (A4000) to Gunnersbury Avenue (A406), which is why the E10 extension did not go ahead. Even though Gunnersbury Drive is used by buses once a year (65X - Gunnersbury Mela service) already. Just noting - if the E10 extension did go ahead via the original route, it would give the North Korean Embassy a bus service! Lovely! (yes, there are three roads named Gunnersbury something, but it's not confusing!).

607 - Rerouted between Hayes By Pass and Iron Bridge via The Parkway, Willow Tree Roundabout, White Hart Roundabout, Ruislip Road, Greenford Broadway and Greenford Road instead of going though Southall to avoid the traffic at Southall. Also the some of the stops should be removed to make it faster. It also should also be rerouted between The Vale and Shepherds Bush via Askew Road and Goldhawk Road instead via Uxbrdige Road so to make it faster and avoid traffic on Uxbridge Road.

N52 reintroduced but instead via route 302 to Mill Hill, 186 to Apex Corner and 292 to Elstree and Borehamwood. Stays the same between Victoria and Hyde Park Corner so not via Trafalgar Square.
Proposed because the 302 serves many areas not connected to Central london at night plus Borehamwood needs a night service as it is a bit isolated.

I think Greenford has more traffic than Southall, especially in the eastbound direction. Southall seems to now have less traffic in most directions, how much varies depending on location.

I think Greenford has more traffic than Southall, especially in the eastbound direction. Southall seems to now have less traffic in most directions, how much varies depending on location. Traffic along Uxbridge Road and Southall High Street can be terrible so terrible the traffic is like gridlock. I was on the 607 one day and when it got to Southall it met gridlock and it was so bad people stared pressing the emergency button to get off the bus because they got fed up of waiting. So I suggested that the 607 should avoid Southall by going via Greenford to Avoid the traffic in Southall. Greenford has traffic but it's not as bad as Southall. I've have heard that it faster to go through Greenford than it is going though Southall.

Why not use the A40 ....? Is the 607 trying hard to be an express route but is really the old 207 just stopping at fewer stops but using same congested roads with some bus priority measures granted, but still falling down like its partners the 207 & 427 do when traffic kicks in. It was a great shame the tram along the Uxbridge Rd didn't come off. That is what is needed , in more ways than one ( ie climate change etc) So, could the 607 be re-routed from say Ealing Common non stop to Westfield via A406 & A40 ? , with perhaps a stop at North Acton only ?

No, you'd screw the 607 further. A406 is traffic hotspot, end of. 112 and 83 can be screwed at times anyway, so why would you ruin the 607 from it being inadequate to it being very bad? Uxbridge Road corridor, yes, needs further than just the 207/607/427 with overtones of other routes touching it at parts of the route. More buses and increased frequencies is the easy answer, but the hard answer would be something else. I once went through Southall very quickly, coincidentally on the VWH on the 105! And a few early morning times. I'd say, for the 207 to avoid the worst of the traffic at Southall is for it to permanently retract it to Southall Town Hall? If not, reroute it to the end of Lady Margaret Road/Ruislip Road (Southall North)?
