Extension planned for Streatham bus service


Streatham bus passengers could benefit from improved transport links to Mitcham and Coulsdon if a Transport for London plan gets the green light.

The proposal will see route 463 which currently runs between Coulsdon and Pollards Hill, extended to loop round Streatham Park Cemetery, taking in Mitcham Eastfields Station. It will also be extended to Coulsdon South station which has rail links to Brighton, Redhill and Gatwick Airport.
Local residents were asked for their views during a six week initial consultation on the scheme last summer and the results are now being reviewed as part of a formal council consultation.

A Merton Council report released on January 5 said: “From the responses received, the altered bus route is a popular proposal. The extended 463 route would introduce a bus service into areas which are currently unserved by buses and will also provide improved access to the rail network.”
The service would run from Monday to Saturday, with a bus every 20 minutes during the day and every half hour during the evening.
