Caroline meets RNIB on Tube accessibility for visually impaired people

Caroline Pidgeon AM met with representatives of the RNIB and officers from London Underground to discuss issues with the accessibility of the Underground for visually impaired people.

A number of issues were discussed including the reductions in staff at ticket offices and their impact on assisting visually impaired passengers, as well as issues with help points and future developments.

Biggin Hill 320 bus problems

Caroline Pidgeon AM joined local resident and former Bromley Councillor Bob Shekyls and an officer from Transport for London to look at the issues faced by residents in Biggin Hill Valley with the 320 bus route.

The route was extended from Bromley to Catford last year and since then the bus has become completely unreliable. Bob showed Caroline and TfL the problem places along the route, such as the stop by Biggin Hill Airport where buses sometimes turn around instead of completing the route to Biggin Hill Valley, leaving passengers stranded, a long way from their end destination.
