Following our representations to Transport for London, via Karen Buck MP, we have been given the following good news from TfL;

 “Following the completion of the majority of works on Eastbourne Terrace related to Crossrail, the main route for the National Express A6 was moved to Eastbourne Terrace from Monday 26 July 2021. The NationalExpress A6 continues to be permitted to use Westbourne Terrace as an alternative route during times of network disruption (i.e. road closures) when no other alternatives are available.

No further services, with a London Service Permit are authorised to use this section of Westbourne Terrace, although we are aware of instances of the A1 service (to Luton Airport) using the road and we are addressing this directly. TfL will continue to work with coach operators and trade associations advising them that coaches should avoid using this section of Westbourne Terrace wherever possible.”

We will continue to press TfL to take strong action if the coach operators do not use Eastbourne Terrace in the future.
