Think you are missing the point about the 455, it would be cut back to West Croydon. The only part I can see happening are the 166/312/455 Purley/South Croydon change, and the old town bus as they got external funding for that. Rest I will be shocked to see the light of day. Most of the others like the 359 extension are also dependent on external funding, S106 from the new homes proposed in the Borough. The proposed Old Town bus services aren't dependent on external funding - only the infrastructure works are. Certainly mentioned in the Liveable Bid report dated March 2019 ... before the bus report insidecroydon.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/liveable-neighbourhood-overview_lcc.pdf |

As I read it it is all part of the bid ... if it does not materialize TfL or Croydon Council have a lot to answer for, but then that just adds to the long list for the latter. |

I think the plan is good for 312, extending it to Crystal Palace for links and extending it to Purley Old Lodge Lane just time help out 455 to also provide more links. 363 extending to Norwood Junction would be also good even doe the route would just have to follow 157 and 197. I must say the consultation should have included either 249 or 432 because one of those routes needs to get extended down to Elmers End to provide more links.

When I did 455 I didn’t really find the route that stubborn around Purley and yes I’ve missed read it, I was just excited about 312 and 363 |
