Countdown to oblivion

Submitted by Mary Reid on Sunday, February 21, 2010

I rather stupidly forgot to take a photo to illustrate this post, and it's too late now because it is dark. So hopefully you will understand what I mean.

At many bus-stops there is a neat display which tells you when the next bus is due. This is the Countdown system. Something similar has been in use on the Tube for several years, but there aren't many cities that also have it at bus-stops.

It seems the Countdown system has got to be upgraded. But the Mayor for London has decided to use this opportunity to remove it entirely from some of the bus-stops, whilst adding it to others.

As a result, Transport for London is planning to remove Countdown from these local bus-stops:

  • Outside the nursery in Moor Lane
  • Chessington North Station
  • Tolworth Tower

This is clearly a retrograde step. If you agree, please sign this petition which has all-party support.
