After a massive response to our petition to extend the number 63 bus route to Honor Oak, we have formally submitted the petition to City Hall for Boris Johnson to now respond to.

Nearly 600 local residents have backed our campaign to extend the bus route, which currently stops at Forest Hill Road and would only need to be extended by three stops up the hill for it to connect with the new London Overground Line, saving residents time and a steep walk. This is a huge response for a local petition, and shows the level of demand there is in Peckham Rye for this service.

We have handed the petition to London Assembly Transport Committee Chair, Caroline Pidgeon, who has formally presented it to Boris Johnson, who now has to formally respond. Transport for London’s previous argument that ‘there isn’t the demand’ for such a service has been proven wrong. We’ll post an update once the Mayor responds.
