Boyyyy certain heads might roll for this error. I imagine (and hopefully) they'll change it to "and" as it's only one bus serving that stop. Do any stops have "and" ? I have only ever seen towards X or X and other stops that just have towards Stratford for example.... Greenwich Church Street (B) says ‘towards Surrey Quays and Central London’. The second part is more trivial as it refers to a general area rather than a specific place. |

A stop in the vicinity of Gallions Reach was not part of the original plans. If the new stops are reasonably well-used and prove there is a demand for travel to and from Gallions Reach, there may be a case for diverting SL2 to the front entrance. Otherwise it's a time-wasting diversion for the benefit of a handful of people. I can assure you more people would use the retail park stops than those on the A1020. Driving down the A1020 last Friday I was surprised to see the number of industrial units partially hidden by the trees on the west side of the road. Perhaps the employers have been lobbying for better public transport links. |

Yes there might be people travelling towards Barking and further but imagine most workers are local. |

I’ve seen quite a few, for example the 390 approaching King’s Cross towards Victoria with Euston and Warren St |

The SL2 stop at Armada Way should say 'towards Barking and Ilford' not 'towards Barking or Ilford'... right? Or am I missing something  LINKThe other direction is not any better. - link |

And they aren't likely to be well used. I agree and said similar a couple of pages back. Whilst not ideal a passenger at the stop looking at the pole would probably understand the SL2 serves both Barking and Ilford and the same with the stops on the other side that list North Woolwich and the Ferry. |

Personally they need to change that "or" to "and" because there's no other bus serving that stop. |

I appreciate its considered incorrect here but for the average passenger it gives information that technically is accurate. If a passenger is at that stop they can board a SL2 to Ilford or Barking. As I said yesterday it’s probably better than say for example a stop close to me that has towards Plaistow or Prince Regent with no indication of which of the two routes goes to each location. I really do doubt heads will roll but that’s just my view. |

No, I don't think it's as severe in that heads will roll - I suspect someone, most likely a higher up, will be warned and that will be that. I still believe a higher up told one of the fitters to use an existing panel that was in storage in order to save costs on ordering a new one - that's the most logical explanation I can think of anyway. |

To be honest I would even be surprised if someone gets warned, it might actually just be a laugh in the office. That said I can't think of an existing panel that would have 'towards North Woolwich or Woolwich Ferry' on it. That might actually have been printed somewhere. I feel the one towards Barking or Ilford panel might have been pulled off a stop in the Faircross area when the EL2 was sent up there. |

TfL staff will be too busy change other bus stop names back and forward to notice this "Error". |
