I did notice (on the badly contrasting coloured map) that one of the stops on Wandsworth High Street shows up as split on one map but shared on another ?
Interesting location for the 87 stand. Placing a bus stand on one of the pressure points of the scheme, doesn't seem to sensible to me.

Like Vauxhall, these plans are ridiculous - the only difference being there is no bus station being destroyed. With these plans, the rest of the gyratory will be gridlocked with traffic and the 87 loses a sensible place to terminate - Wandsworth Plain is short link road that tends not to be congested. Then, you've got the junction up by Trinity Road where Hugenot Place meets East Hill, currently a wide lane junction will heavily downgraded to just one lane - great way to cause more congestion as traffic tends to back up a little further down the hill. All in all, absolutely barmy!

All in all, absolutely barmy! In theory these proposals should work like clockwork, but theory does not always work in reality as most of us know.. My only angst would be, I don't understand how East Hill has gone from 3 lanes to 2 without any explanation. Kind of like the way I don't understand how Putney Bridge Road will become a 5 lane road when it's currently 3 !? If the proposals of Wandsworth and Vauxhall are anything to go by, then Stratford's two-waying should be very interesting.
