Commenting on the newly released ‘quality of service indicators’ for London Buses, Lynne Featherstone, GLA Liberal Democrat Transport spokesperson, said:

“It is good to see that several of our bus services in Hornsey and Wood Green are showing real improvements in performance.

“The 263 and 134 routes in particular have done well: the 263 (Archway-Barnet) has cut its excess waiting time by 34%. Metroline are getting there with these routes.

“Liberal Democrats in the Hornsey and Wood Green constituency campaigned to improve the 134 service and it’s good to see action is paying off.

“Bus services are going to be key in getting London moving especially when the Mayor’s congestion charging scheme is rolled out next February. Labour’s mad PPP plan for the Tube means it will be years before we see any gains on the Underground.

“Bus passengers always notice when things go wrong. But when real improvements are recorded we should give our public services credit where credit is due.”
