Night Bus service changes in Plumstead, Southeast London
My idea centres on changing/extending three bus routes in the Plumstead/Thamesmead region of southeast London. These ideas are for bus routes 53, 177 and 472.
N53: This route would be separate from the
currently 24-hour operating 53, travelling
from Whitehall to Plumstead. Extend
from Griffin Road/Plumstead Station (bus stop U) then stopping at Thamesmead
West/Plumstead Bus Garage (bus stop WW on Pettman Crescent at the junction of Tom
Cribb Road, currently served by bus routes 244 and 380), then to follow the
current serving bus route 472 to Thamesmead Town Centre.
The return journey from Thamesmead Town Centre to Whitehall to follow the current serving 472 bus route to Nathan Way/Pettman Crescent (bus stop WS) before picking up its current line of route from Pettman Crescent to Whitehall.
N472: Only to be introduced if the N53 is not extended between Plumstead & Thamesmead. This route would be separate from the currently 24-hour operating 472, travelling from Thamesmead Town Centre to North Greenwich Station. Extended from North Greenwich Station and serving a new bus stop towards New Cross Gate Station (bus stop C), then following the current bus route 188 towards Greenwich/Tyler Street (bus stop L), then following the current bus route 177 towards New Cross Gate Station (bus top O), where the service will terminate.
The return journey from New Cross Gate Station to Thamesmead Town Centre will depart from New Cross Gate (bus stop R), following the current bus route 177 to Greenwich/Tyler Street (bus stop J), then follow the current bus route 188 to North Greenwich Station (bus stop A), where it would pick up its normal line of route towards Thamesmead Town Centre.
N177: Only to be introduced if the N53 is extended between Plumstead and Thamesmead. With the N53 now serving all bus stops previously served by bus route 472 between Plumstead and Thamesmead, the N472 would be scrapped and replaced with a new night route, the N177. This night service would run between Abbey Wood Station and Peckham Bus Station. Starting at Abbey Wood Road/Knee Hill (bus stop G), left onto Harrow Manorway, left onto Eynsham Drive then following the current bus route 177 to Charlton, Stone Lake Retail Park (bus stop F). From here it would follow the current bus route 472 to North Greenwich Station (bus stop C), then follow the current bus route 188 to Greenwich/Tyler Street (bus stop L), and then it would pick up its current line of route to Peckham Bus Station. The opposite for its return journey, stopping at bus stop A at North Greenwich Station.
