Bus shelter near junction of Rushey Green and Rosenthal Road

You may have noticed that the bus shelter in Rushey Green just south of its junction with Rosenthal Road was removed two years ago.

It has now been replaced! Sadly, the replacement shelter has no seat, but at least it's arrived before the winter.

Cllr John Muldoon has been raising this at Lewisham Council's Transport Liaison Meeting since June 2008.

NEW RAIL FRANCHISE

The rather complicated new franchise for the "Catford Loop" line from Catford Station to Blackfriars and beyond came into force on Monday 23rd March.
