BUS ROUTE TRIAL TO GET GO-AHEAD WITH NEW ROUTE AVOIDING SOUTHWOOD LANE
Transport for London and the London Mayor have decided that the trial of a new bus route linking Muswell Hill, Highgate, Hampstead and Swiss Cottage will now only use roads already served by buses, and will avoid Southwood Lane.
The news comes after pressure from local residents and meetings on the issue between local councillor and London Assembly Lib Dem transport spokesperson, Lynne Featherstone, with both the Mayor and senior Transport for London officials.
Lynne Featherstone comments:
“I am delighted that the trial will go ahead and Transport for London is willing to proceed with a trial using a route that avoids Southwood Lane.
“The challenge now will be to keep up the pressure to ensure that this trial expands into a full service. There are many people in addition to schoolchildren who really need this bus route. Huge numbers of local people have worked very hard for a long time to make it a reality, and our campaign for a full service will continue.”
