Route 75 - Curtail to West Croydon Bus Station, alllowing the 75 and 157 to once again provide a regular service along the Anerley to Croydon corridor into the bus station in both directions. Route 197 - Change the terminus in Croydon to Fairfield Halls using the 75 stand. If the temporary Croydon pedestrianisation scheme is made permanent, this would be a sensible solution compared to now. Route 202 - Serve Lower Sydenham Sainsbury's. Route 358 - Diverted between Anerley Robin Hood and Elmers End via Elmers End Road to improve reliability. Route 194 would provide a service between Penge and Elmers End via Croydon Road, while the 356 would continue to serve Elmers End between Penge and the Robin Hood. I would leave the 75 as it is, it serves the bus station towards Lewisham but I think it would be too time consuming to do so in the other direction. I would extend the 197 to South Croydon Garage, many buses go there out of service for driver changeover anyway. I'd leave the 202 as it is, there is the 194 and 450 from one direction and the 181 from the other direction into Sainsburys. I certainly agree with the 358 idea, there is an imbalance of services between Beckenham Road and Elmers End Road, the former is over bussed whilst the latter has nothing running the full length. It also makes the 358 more direct and as it is the 194 and 358 duplicate each other all the way from Penge to Eden Park. |

I note the comments about the 75 and college students, but otherwise these seem sensible proposals. My only uncertainty would be over the 358, because I feel the 194 could be rerouted back to Elmers End Road instead, restoring a link to what remains of the shops in Penge for residents in that area, so I'm 50:50 on that one. |

All things considered I think it would be better to reroute the 358 via Elmers End Road than return the 194 to its former route. |

The problem with removing the 358 from Beckenham Road is the already very busy 227 would suffer and have to take on the 358's passengers to Palace as well as they won't simply transfer to the 194 so I agree with you on not choosing the 358. There is already a link between Penge & Elmers End Road in the form of the 356, granted a little indirect so for me, I'd still send the 432 to Elmers End via Birkbeck. |

I would like route E2 (towards Greenford), E7 (towards Ealing), E8 (towards Ealing) and N11 (towards Ealing) to serve Christchurch (Bus stop X) instead of Ealing Town Hall (Bus Stop W) because Bus stop W is over bussed and has way too many buses serving it.

I'd like a 432 extension too, but no chance in the current climate, because frequency couldn't be pruned any further to compensate! |
