Southend Lane Bus Priority Consultation
Overview
Lewisham Council is planning to introduce a new bus priority route along Southend Lane as part of Transport for London’s (TfL) initiative to enhance the speed, reliability and efficiency of the bus network.
The current proposal includes:
- New bus lane: A new 665-meter westbound bus lane from Worsley Bridge to Farmstead Road.
- Road modifications: Conversion of the central traffic island into a road to create space for the new bus lane.
- Junction: Modification to the existing junction layout and operational timing of the signals at the pedestrian crossing.
This project is part of TfL’s bus priority programme, which aims to make bus journeys 10% quicker than in 2015. Improving bus journey times benefits current passengers, attracts new users, and generates savings that can be reinvested into providing better connections, vehicles, stops and shelters. Southend lane has been identified as a priority location.
