Proposal 3 - Exford Road and Jevington Way

A local route change in Lee that would see the 273 bus route run along the northern section of Exford Road instead of Jevington Way.

This section of the bus route would no longer be hail and ride and buses would no longer stop on request.

These proposals would facilitate the introduction of two new fixed location bus stops on Exford Road. The proposed new bus stops are described in more detail in Proposal 2.

How the route change may affect you:

If we were to change bus route 273 as proposed, the following roads would no longer be served by it:

• Senlac Road east of Exford Road
• Jevington Way
• Winn Road between Jevington Way and Exford Road
• Passengers of route 273 that currently that board and alight from the above roads would need to walk further to access their nearest bus stop. This would impact approximately 40 passengers a day Monday-Saturday, and 15 passengers on a Sunday
• Walking time would be approximately four minutes, depending on start and end locations of journeys
• All passengers currently boarding and alighting along these roads would remain within 400 metres of the bus network, with the nearest bus stops proposed on Map 2 below (locations 10 and 11)
• This may have a negative impact for disabled people, wheelchair users, people with buggies, luggage and shopping, and in particular in poor weather and at night
• For passengers traveling through the area, the bus journey time would be reduced by approximately four minutes. Improved bus journey times would benefit approximately 750 passengers Monday-Saturday, and 350 passengers on Sundays

The local route change proposals are detailed in Map 2

The proposed bus stops are shown on the map and within the table below (locations 10 and 11)
