Sorry, no coverage of tonight's #BexleyTransport meeting for obvious Grandad-related reasons. The mtg docs're here: democracy.bexley.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx
Latest #B12onSunday stats from the papers for tomorrow's #BexleyTransport meeting. Come on, everyone, ride it more :)
Hospital bus point v interesting - Lewisham hosp well served, while #BexleyTransport keep trying in vain to get 96 to serve Darent Valley.
And that's it for #BexleyTransport for this quarter. Next meeting's in January. If the agenda looks that dull again I might spare us all ;)
Rumoured 25% cut in Local Improvement Plan funds, spent on investment but classed by gov't as revenue exp. so more cuttable #BexleyTransport
The last time the 89 bus served target 98%+ of its intended mileage was in summer 2010. Spring 2010 for the 321. #BexleyTransport
Bus routes 428 & 492 still have over 5% of journeys paid for by cash - should such routes be excluded from going cashless? #BexleyTransport
Pleased to see #BexleyTransport rep's #Southeastern franchise extn feedback called for late and Sunday DFD-BXH-LEW-VIC services. YES PLEASE.
There was a Network Rail rep at the #BexleyTransport mtg. He was suitably apologetic about Monday when they cut capacity in half through LBG
When LBG works finish in 2018 "all platforms will be connectd by a street-level concourse bigger than the pitch at Wembley" #BexleyTransport
Jan'15-Aug'16 no ChX services call at LBG; Aug'16-early 2018 no Cannon St services. Heard it all before but getting closer! #BexleyTransport
Major London Bridge work getting closer. A completely Southern-less week at end of Aug '14 is first major item on timetable #BexleyTransport
BXH is about to get lifts. Req'd under DDA as footbridge replaced, but frustrating for stns that aren't already accessible. #BexleyTransport
#BexleyTransport news then, what little there was. 602 bus likely to get capacity increase; makes sense, limited services're cheap to expand
Hmm, should probably have trusted my instincts when I read the agenda+papers: that was actually a relatively boring #BexleyTransport meeting
Here's a new leaflet about the Bexleyheath road changes etc. by the way: http://www.bexley.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=12279&p=0 (PDF) #Bexleytransport
And that's about it from last night's #Bexleytransport meeting. Next one's in October so you can all look forward to that ;)
Meanwhile #Bexleytransport has been giving HGV drivers CPC training including getting them onto bikes to experience cycling past HGVs.
#Bexleytransport is one of boroughs bidding for TfL 'mini-Holland' funding for cycling improvements. Would be done borough-wide if bid won.
TfL Bourne Rd A2 flyover needs work; meant to be soon so during school holidays but it's slipped. Will disrupt 4 bus routes #Bexleytransport
Amusingly #Bexleytransport staff asked for "Except buses" to be *added* to No-Right-Turn on traff light to aid diversion; TfL *replaced* NRT
Next phase of bus diversions in Bexleyheath: Mayplace Road closed from 15 July. Several bus diversions in place as a result #Bexleytransport
#Bexleytransport mtg chair read thank-you letter from #B12onSunday campaigners. Already hit ~93% of target Sunday ridership after 2 months!
Cllrs had ideas to improve orbital rail links but LEW is a bottleneck. NR: "would need LBG-scale funding to remodel LEW" #Bexleytransport
Network Rail rep said their government grant for improving DDA compliance of stations by fitting lifts etc has been cut. #Bexleytransport
NetworkRail rep tried to defend fitting lifts at BXH when Falconwood, Albany Pk etc need them infinitely more. Unconvincing #Bexleytransport
TfL say they'll bring their travel demand management experience from the Olympics to bear on #Southeastern during LBG works #Bexleytransport
#Southeastern impact from #Thameslink work getting ever closer. No CHX trains at LBG 2015-16, then no CST ones 'til 2018 #Bexleytransport
Exhibition about Abbey Wood #Crossrail works 1-7pm Thu 11 Jul, Abbey Wood Community Centre. *Major* works so worth a visit. #Bexleytransport
Crossrail will move Abbey Wood stn across boundary into Bexley borough from Greenwich. Cllr: "Do stations pay rates?" ;) #Bexleytransport
