Good news on route 726 for Sutton bus users

March 2, 2005 2:14 PM

Sutton and Cheam MP Paul Burstow has welcomed the news that Transport for London has gone back on its decision to cut out Cheam and Worcester Park from the Croydon to Heathrow Airport bus route.

Paul Burstow MP lobbied TfL against their proposals to slash the number of stops in the Borough when they replace the 726 with the X26 express service. However, following a consultation exercise on the future of the bus route TFL have announced they will retain the bus stops at Cheam Broadway, North Cheam (Queen Victoria) and Worcester Park Station.

Paul Burstow commented:

"This is good news for local users of the 726 service, especially those living in Cheam and Worcester Park.

"I welcome the fact that Transport for London has listened to the concerns of local people and gone back on its plans for the whole scale slashing of stops in the area."

    If you are a resident of the Sutton and Cheam constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
