Introduce a direct Harrow to Ealing bus route,
linking at least town centre with town centre.
Takes under 20 mins by car; but a very awkward
journey by bus/tube, taking up to an hour, with
multiple changes.

Why not interchange from the 182 to the 83 at Wembley Central?


LOL!!1 83!1111****tard1111one1

BTN

1 Extend the E1 to Yeading White Hart
2 Extend the E9 through the Downe Manor Estate (Down Way/Townson
Avenue) through to Charville Lane Estate3 Terminate the E3 at
Turnham Green Church (avoid the Chiswick High School kids)4 Reroute
the 140 back to Mill Hill and put the 114 back to Harrow Weald

That's a few for starters

If you had the power to add/change/remove bus routes, what would you do?

There would be four changes I would make:

1. 35 - Shoreditch to Clapham Junction. I'd extend the Shoreditch end
to run
to Hackney Central and truncate the Clapham Junction at Brixton. So
there
would now be a link between South London and Hackney.

2. 345 - Peckham to South Kensington. I'd reroute this at Brixton so
that it
runs along the route of the changed 35 to Clapham Junction

3. 197 - Norwood Junction - East Croydon. I can't see the point of such
a
short route. I'd extend this to Thornton Heath.

4. 80 - Hackbridge to Belmont. This is one crazy route which meanders
all
over the place - a shame, since Sutton seems to have very few links to
anywhere. I'd keep the section from Belmont to Sutton, then reroute the
rest
of the route via the route of the 407 up to Purley Way, then the route
of
the 289 up to Thornton Heath, then the route of the 109 up to Streatham.

93 - send it all round Lower Morden
293 - send it direct along the A24 into Morden, extend it to St
George's Hospital, and increase the frequency from 3bph to 4bph
470 - cut it back to Morden

N77 - extend it along the 406 route to Epsom

68 - extend it to King's Cross Station

77A - renumber it - I don't care what to, but it bears so little
resemblance to the plain 77

RV1 - run it with those fake heritage tram ye olde stylee buses you
find in foreign cities to amuse the tourists

How about using RMs on busy routes instead???

As for the RV1, I think the existing buses are as good as anything else
at the moment, but in the future they should consider options such as
battery electric buses.

Well, yes I agree with you wholeheartedly but I think we've done that
one to death somewhat! ;-)

there is also much to be said for having RMs on a recognisably
"heritage" route. Not the commentary-equipped sightseeing ones but
something covering the central sections of the 11, 9 or 15, for example.

The 15 needs all the buses it can get, anyway, especially on District
Line Closure weekends but also generally. Some of you may remember my
postings here some months ago about the overcrowding on the route
to/from the Tower. This is something I've experienced several times
again since.......

Well, when the route was inaugurated, I thought that the GPs-operated
information screens about nearby attractions were a really great,
innovative idea. I even heard many favourable comments from visitors
using the route. But they seem to have fallen out of use (and some
distinctly "ordinary" vehicles appear on the route nowadays in any
case).

There should be some double deckers over Tower Bridge.
Crossing it in a single decker is no fun.

I agree. I would increase the frequency of the 15, or extend the 115 to
Trafalgar Sq. I've lost count of the number of times I've stood at the
bus stop waiting for the 15, but had 6 No11s and 4 No23s turn up before a
15. Stagecoach, brewery, p***-up spring to mind.

I'd also extend the 262 back up to Walthamstow as I'm told it used to go.
It'd save me changing on to the 69.

how about designing a modern HSE acceptable conductor operated bus and
reintroducing conductors on many routes ?

Eeeek. No thanks! The N77 is unreliable enough as it is, and at weekends
it can take a few buses before you can actually squeeze onto one!
