Transport for London has officially approved the development of a new bus route connecting North Greenwich and Kidbrooke Village.

We the undersigned call on Transport for London to propose a new bus route to operate between North Greenwich and Kidbrooke Village in order to increase bus capacity in the Blackheath area and reduce overcrowding on existing routes such as the 132, 108 and 422.
Bus routes from North Greenwich to the south of the Royal Borough of Greenwich are already full to capacity at rush hour, with many people having to wait for a second bus at North Greenwich. A new bus route is desperately needed just to cope with current demand.
The Kidbrooke Village development will lead to a huge population increase to the south of Blackheath. Some parts of the development are now complete with residents moving in and more homes being proposed. As a result, demand on local public transport, such as the 132 and rail services from Kidbrooke Station, will only increase on these already full services.
Cities are built on their transport networks and it is paramount the Kidbrooke Village has proper bus connection to Woolwich for Crossrail and North Greenwich for the Jubilee line, this will not only improve the lives of commuters in Kidbrooke Village and help reduce demand on the already under-strain Kidbrooke and Blackheath stations.

Must be a frequent double-decker and via Kidbrooke Park Road. Desperately needed now given 132 generally full at Wricklemarsh Road between 8 and 9am or two come at the same time (after huge gap) so one is taken out of service despite two buses of people waiting.
We need more of these routes i take my 6yr old to school via those buses & we have to push our way on & shes left standing all the way to North Greenwich & once the Secondary school is finished from september there will be loads more people uses them buses
The 132 service is often late, or there are buses missing in the service. Furthermore, it is extremely overcrowded and often does not even stop to pick up passengers at the stops along Rochester Way. With the extra provision of flats / houses in the area, this situation can only get worse.
Extremely needed. As others have mentioned, 132 bus usually from Kidbrooke to North Greenwich is ok. However, from the O2 to the other way us just a nightmare. As everybody wants to get home, people end pushing, arguing etc.
Please enable those who live in Kidbrooke Village access to a bus that will connect us with North Greenwich station. So many of us work at North Greenwich and it is our nearest underground station.
I suspect some additional links were considered but abandoned around Millennium - this is long overdue already
Yes to more transport options from Kidbrook

Better linking Blackheath with North Greenwich and the Hubilee line would be hugely beneficial, given Blackheath's pretty poor transport offering! A night bus would be great too, so we can benefit from the night tube.
