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.
