Transport for London proposes some changes to the 166 and 455 bus routes (and several others in Croydon and Sutton).
We don't think that the 166 changes are an improvement - quite the opposite. There won't be a convenient and level access to Purley Hospital, because the nearest bus stop will be in Pampisford Road, at the back of the hospital. Apart from having to cross Pampisford Road, the rear access is via a steep path. Not so difficult for able-bodied people, but not much fun if you are in a wheelchair, or helping someone else in one. Also, the journey time to Central Croydon will be increased by 8 minutes.
Take some time to view the full information on their own website - with maps and descriptions - and then make your comments.
The consultation period will close on 20th December. TFL link is here: sutton-croydon-bus-changes
