What about the issues for the people who live at the top of Friern road and have to put up with a bus stand out the back of their house, bus drivers not turning off their engines all through the night, our cars being constantly hit by busses (the red paint kind of gives it away), the top of Friern Road being regularly blocked by buses and apart from those issues relating to the unsuitably narrow road the often antisocial and rude behaviour of the bus drivers. Surely you should have known better than to take an election promise by some self serving, tory fop seriously.
