Why not extend the 269 to PRU Hospital.

Why not extend the 269 to PRU Hospital. Too many buses serve Bromley Common i personally do not see the point. If the 269 were to run to Plaistow Green it still wont serve the high street |

If the 269 were to run to Plaistow Green it still wont serve the high street There is limited Stand Space at PRH also. I suggested that it should start and end at Bromley/Magistrates Court using Bromley North as the Stand. Extending it to Bromley South would be out of the Question due to the two year building works. Once that is done I would suggest extending it there. |

Once that is done I would suggest extending it there. I still think the best way is to remove the banned right turn and allow the 269 to turn right from Bromley North Station onto Tweedy Road, left into London Road, serve the High Street, then onto Widmore Road and onto the current route. Coming into Bromley, do the same routing but in reverse or do the current routing via West Street. |

That Press Release epitomises the attitude of Bromley Council. References to minimising the impacts on residents, traders and motorists but no mention of bus passengers! How the heck do they imagine people get to Bromley? on magic carpets? I'd love to see how well Bromley's shops would do if there were no buses serving the town centre. It's like that lunatic Mary Portas who has no clue that bus passengers spend more per trip to a town centre than any other type of transport user. She says the answer is to increase the amount of free parking spaces. Doh! |

I wonder how Bromley shops would cope without car parking space? |

I wonder how Bromley shops would cope without car parking space? Probably as well as that "retail desert" called the West End of London does given there is no free parking there. The point, as you well know, is that town centres function perfectly well if they have good or excellent public transport access. All free car parking space does is create massive traffic jams on the approaches to town centres or retail parks thereby making it more difficult for people to get about and also creating pollution. You won't agree but that's no matter - you're still trying to stop Ken Livingstone even though he's stopped himself! |

yeah that tory council to you!!! Pardon?? Bromley dont seem to be too pro public transport. They rejected a proposal for an extension of Tramlink to Bromley. They withdrew their funding for the Bromley Park and Ride even though TfL were willing to keep their half of the funding and now this Bromley North proposal. Im not saying that all Tory councils are like this, Surrey CC and Kent CC on the other hand do very well for the money they have, and seem quite pro public transport. |
