King William Street bus stop at the top of the steps under London Bridge

An Officer stated that TfL had replied to the request to relocate the bus stop and they had advised that it would not be possible to move it further south as it would be closer to the bridge and would interfere with the lanes. They had stated that buses could potentially get stuck behind each other when they were using the bus stop and this could lead to delays and congestion on the bus network. A Member stated that there was currently significant crowding by the bus stop and the steps by King William Street which made it very difficult for pedestrians to pass. They requested that TfL be asked to relocate the bus stop to the north where the pavement was wide and the bus stop would not interfere with lanes. The Officer stated he would request TfL to move the bus stop northwards and would also follow up with TfL on the bridge repairs request at the last meeting as he had not yet received a response.
