Residents of Alexandra Park Road are to have a bus stop moved after the capital’s transport bosses agreed with residents and local Lib Dems that the gap between the first and second stops going downhill are too close, leaving a long gap before the third stop at the bottom.

On routes 102 and 299, the bus stop near the junction with Muswell Road is to be moved 162 metres to outside Alexandra Parish Church. It is also likely that a new shelter will be installed.

Parliamentary Spokesperson and GLA member Lynne Featherstone comments:

“Hopefully, it will not be too long before London Buses install the new bus stop, which should shorten the walks for many pedestrians using the service.”

Local councillor Susan Oatway (Lib Dem, Alexandra ward) adds:

“This is good news, as all measures that encourage people to take the bus are to be welcomed and I am pleased London Buses has responded to this request.”
