Now that the dust has settled, I thought I’d write out the revised (simplified) Croydon-Sutton bus changes for clarity.
Sutton:
164- Extended from Sutton Station to Royal Marsden Hospital via Brighton Road.
455- Route withdrawn- see S4 for replacement.
470- Withdrawn between Epsom Town Centre and Sutton Station (see S2)
Rerouted in Sutton Common via Marlborough Road and Stayton Road (replacing S3)
S1- Route simplified in St Helier area to serve Rose Hill and northern end of Green Wrythe Lane instead of residential streets.
Diverted away from Belmont Station.
S2- NEW ROUTE between St Helier and Epsom Town Centre via existing routes S4 and 470.
S3- Route simplified in Sutton Common area to continue via Sutton Common Station and Angel Hill instead of residential streets (see 470)
S4- Extended from Roundshaw to Waddon Marsh (replacing 455)
Withdrawn between St Helier and Sutton Town Centre (see S2)
Croydon:
166- Rerouted away from South Croydon, via Pampisford Road and Warham Road (replacing 455). Note- Park Lane 455 section is without replacement- 166 will operate into Croydon as is.
312- Extended from South Croydon Bus Garage to Purley, Old Lodge Lane (replacing 455).
405- School day only extra journey withdrawn (see 645)
407- Withdrawn between Croydon Town Centre and Caterham (see 443)
434- Rerouted in Kenley via Higher Drive (new road) instead of Oaks Road (see 439)
Extended from Whyteleafe to Caterham via existing route 407.
439- NEW ROUTE from Waddon Marsh to Whyteleafe. Provides extra capacity along Purley Way (via route 289) and replaces 434 routing in Kenley via Oaks Road.
443- NEW ROUTE from West Croydon to Caterham, replacing route 407. Note- will not serve Croydon High Street, instead running via Old Town (new road) and Reeves Corner.
455- Route withdrawn- see 166 and 312 for replacement.
