I am asking why Nightingale Road bus stop LB has not been considered for countdown in the mitigation proposals for the proposed alternative 259, 279 & 349 changes comprising 259 being Kings Cross to Ponders End. This is a question for the Central London Bus Review Team. See Page 25 of: Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) form Document No.: F1457 Issue No.: A1

There were existing plans to introduce new Countdown signs at the four stops noted in the Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA). There are currently eight southbound bus stops with Countdown signs already installed where passengers would have been able to interchange between routes 259 and 279 – another new Countdown sign at Stop LB was not considered a requirement.
