Route 63

[Medley]

Zeban - know what you mean, does feel a bit too far, doesn't it?

[Renata Hamvas]

I'm meeting Val Shawcross (GLA) this afternoon at 3pm at Honor Oak Park Station to discuss/investigate the problems with the buses in the area.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but if memory serves Labour came to power in 1997?

Hope you can mention the extension of route 63 in this meeting, Renata - it would plug several gaps.

I did raise the issue of the 63 bus extension again. She is still onto the case with this. We walked up the Hill and over it, so Val is aware that it's only 4 bus stops from Forest Hill Rd to Brockley Rise, but the hill is a steep one!

Thanks for the update.

How about installing a pedestrian version of this instead to get up the hill??

Normally when new Transport hubs open other public transport is realigned to make the most of it. Yet when the London Ovwerground opened at Honor Oak As far As I know NOTHING was changed. Sure either extending a brockly bus to Peckham or the 63 to HOnor Oak station is so obvious that any traffic integrator would do it as a matter ofcourse. I would certainly use it if there was bus there. The hill and my Arhritus wont let me use it at the moment.

Integrated transport? But this is Britain!

We live at the end of Dunstans Road and use Honor Oak Park every day (I work in Canary Wharf, my partner near London Bridge). It's only a 15-20 minute walk, but even for relatively young, fit people that hill can be painful! An extension to the 63 route would certainly make our lives much easier.

Londoners should be grateful for their transport network. I admit it's not cheap but it has to be one of the most extensive in the world. I've just spent some time in the States, where if you don't have a car, you can't get anywhere.
