A full review of all bus services in this area has been carried out. Our review has taken into account reliability, the usage and connectivity in and around. As a result, we are proposing changes to Routes R1, R2, R3, R7 and R11. The proposals outlined in this booklet aim to: Improve reliability Provide sufficient buses to meet demand Provide quicker journey times through re-routeing the R1, R3 and R11 Increase the frequency of Route R7 Increase the frequency of Route R11 Introduce a Sunday service on Route R7 Provide new links from Chelsfield Village, Chislehurst and Bickley Provide new links from Tower Road Drop in sessions Staff from Transport for London will be available for you to discuss the proposals at the following times and locations: Monday 15 February at Chislehurst Library, Red Hill, Chislehurst, BR7 6DA, between 4pm and 7pm Tuesday 16 February at The Aubrey Mullock Hall, Village Hall, 311 High Street,, BR6 0NN, between 1pm and 7pm Thursday 25 February at The Poverest Centre, Bromley Adult Education, Poverest Road,, BR5 2DQ, between 12pm and 3pm Have your say This consultation is open to all.

3 What are we proposing? As a result of this review we have developed proposals for changes to the bus network in and we would like to know your views: In summary: Route R1 (Green Street Green Grovelands) would continue to run between Green Street Green and Grovelands. We are proposing a minor re-route from Repton Road to run via Tower Road, Station Road, Station approach and Station in both directions. Monday to Saturday daytime frequencies would be reduced to every 20 minutes. Route R2 (Biggin Hill Valley Petts Wood Station) would run between Biggin Hill Valley and Town Centre. It would no longer run between and Petts Wood. Route R3 (Locksbottom Chelsfield Village) would be re-routed from Station to Hospital via Tower Road. It would no longer run between and Chelsfield Village. Also, it would run via Amherst Drive instead of Poverest Road. Monday to Saturday daytime frequencies would be increased to every 20 minutes. Evening and Sunday frequencies would be increased to every 30 minutes. Route R7 ( Bickley) would be extended from Bickley to Chislehurst War Memorial and extended from to Chelsfield Village. Monday to Saturday daytime frequencies would increase to every 30 minutes. We would introduce an hourly Sunday service. Route R11 (Sidcup, Queen Mary s Hospital Green Street Green) would continue to run between Queen Mary s Hospital and Green Street Green. It would no longer serve Edgington Way, Sidcup Tesco and Hospital. Monday to Saturday daytime frequencies would be increased to every 12 minutes. Evening and Sunday frequencies would be increased to every 20 minutes. Full details of the proposed changes to routes R1, R2, R3, R7 and R11 are on the following pages. 3

4 Detailed proposals Bus Route R1 We are proposing to change route R1 in the area by using Tower Road, providing new links and a more direct and quicker service to and from Station. It would no longer serve the northern section of Sevenoaks Road; routes 358, R7 and R11 would still serve this section of road. Current routeing Daily R1 St. Paul s Grovelands Road St. Paul s Mid eld Way Mickleham Road St. Paul s Wood Hill Leesons Hill St. Mary Avenue Crofton Road High Street Walnuts Centre War Memorial Sevenoaks Road Repton Road Eton Road The Highway Chels eld Windsor Drive Glentrammon Road Green Street Green High Street Proposed routeing Daily R1 St. Paul s Grovelands Road St. Paul s Mid eld Way Mickleham Road St. Paul s Wood Hill Leesons Hill St. Mary Avenue Crofton Road High Street Walnuts Centre War Memorial Repton Road Eton Road The Highway Chels eld Windsor Drive Glentrammon Road Green Street Green High Street Buses from Green Street Green would be rerouted from Repton Road via Tower Road and Station Road to existing routeing. Buses from Grovelands would be rerouted after serving Station via Tower Road and Repton Road to existing routeing. 4 We are proposing to reduce the Monday to Saturday daytime frequency from every 15 minutes to every 20 minutes. We are also proposing to increase the frequency of route R11 which would provide additional capacity between St. Mary and. Together these would provide sufficient buses to meet current demand on all parts of the R1. Buses on the R1 would continue to run every 20 minutes during evenings and every 30 minutes during Sundays.

6 Bus Route R2 We are proposing to shorten the route so that it would run between Biggin Hill Valley and Town Centre. This would allow us to provide a more reliable service. The route would no longer serve High Street (north of the Walnuts Centre), Lower Road, Amherst Drive, Petts Wood Road and Petts Wood Station. Instead the proposed extension of route R3 would provide these links and with a more frequent service.

The first and last stop would be Police Station. Buses would then continue from Gravel Pit Way, Spur Road and Station Road to existing routeing. Buses would continue to run every 30 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays. 6

8 Bus Route R3 We are proposing to shorten this route so that it would run between Princess Royal University Hospital and Hospital running via Tower Road. This would provide new connections including links between: Princess Royal University Hospital and Hospital, Station and Hospital as well as providing new connections to Tower Road. As we are proposing to shorten the route, we expect the reliability of the service to improve. We also are proposing diverting the route via Amherst Drive instead of Poverest Road. This would follow the existing route R2 in the area which is proposed to run only between Biggin Hill Valley and Town Centre. Route R3 would no longer run between and Chelsfield Village. Charterhouse Road, Court Road, Warren Road, Bucks Cross Road, Maypole Road and Hewitts Road would no longer be served. The proposed extension of route R7 would cover these roads.

9 Towards Hospital the route would run as now into Station. From Station Road it would run via Tower Road and Sevenoaks Road to Hospital. We are proposing to increase the frequency during Monday to Saturday daytimes from every 30 minutes to every 20 minutes. Evening and Sunday frequency would increase from every 60 minutes to every 30 minutes. 9

12 Bus Route R7 We are proposing to extend the route at the northern end from Bickley to Chislehurst War Memorial and at the southern end from to Chelsfield Village.

13 Towards Chelsfield buses would run from Royal Parade via Bromley Road, Summer Hill, Bickley Park Road, Blackbrook Lane, Barfield Road and Golf Road (Aquila Estate). The service would then run as now to Station Road and then via High Street, Homefield Rise (for the Walnuts Centre), High Street, Sevenoaks Road, Charterhouse Road, Court Road and Warren Road.

We are proposing to increase the frequency during Monday to Saturday daytimes from every 70 minutes to every 30 minutes. We would also introduce an hourly Sunday service.
