Has there been another case of changes having been consulted on being given the go ahead then never put into effect? (aside from the 3 to Russell Square though that is a little different given that it was always to be implemented at a different time than the rest of that round of cuts) Not having been consulted but implemented away was the 452 being withdrawn between Ladbroke Grove, Sainsburys and Kensal Rise. It was curtailed to Sainsburys for a while during roadworks, then diverted to Westbourne Park Station but seems to have permanently been cut back to Sainsburys and shares the stand (very small?) with the 295. A lot of the drivers deadrun back to X though. I do remember recalling an article about road modifications at Kensal Rise which required removing a route from the bus stand, but this was not from TFL but I guess the 452 was the killing route. Probably coupled with the fact the 452 was kind of consulted on when the 23 was going to divert to Wembley with part of the reason for the 452 was go address complaints about too many buses along Chanerlayne Road.

From tomorrow All Buses in Croydon coming from the Flyover will now turn left into Fell Road. Buses serving St Georges Walk will go straight ahead, buses serving Fairfield Halls will turn right onto Katherine Street. Exactly 1 month the bus stops outside Fairfield Halls are still incorrect route numbers. In addition the alighting point at Park Street now has tiles for the 109 433 N109 when it is the last stop for these routes however now SL5, those routes were previously not on that stop on the 119 312 468. Croydon Flyover Northbound stop still missing 468 tile. The people responsible for doing bus stop updates actually do not give a toss.

That would be TfL.
Who ever they contract the task to it is ultimately their responsibility.
This is the same TfL who don't care about out-of-date posters in shelters (randomly but still London-wide) advising of the "school" and "non-school" use of buses which was a Covid thing. And which was only ever advisory anyway.
I have attempted to get the stop flags altered along the R70 which state "Towards Nurseylands" and have done since the route was introduced. It should of course be "Nurserylands" but no-one cares

The Stop outside the Pearson Centre on Park Street now has a Bus Stand flag fitted and the stop opposite has had the 109 433 N109 tiles changed from normal tiles to “Alighting point only” However the stops outside Fairfield Halls are still all incorrect. The Bus Stops on St George’s Walk. 2 of them now state on the “St George’s Walk Croydon Town Centre”
