The bus is coming!

Submitted by Mary Reid on Monday, February 15, 2010

Next Monday the new bus service to Hinchley Wood School will finally start, after three years of untiring campaigning by the parents.

I've written about this before, and how they had to involve me as they were getting nowhere. I found that communication with Transport for London was dire, so brought in Edward Davey MP, and Caroline Pigeon, who chairs the Transport Committee on Greater London Assembly.

Finally we managed to cut through all the nonsense, and TfL accepted that there was a business case for a new bus route.

So every school day, morning and afternoon, the 467 route will be diverted at the Ace to go down to the roundabout near the school. There's even a convenient, disused bus layby in just the right spot.
