Proposals - Bus route 92 

 

Route 92 operates between Ealing Hospital and St Raphael’s, Drury Way. Our proposals relate to the section of its route between Engineers Way and Great Central Way only. On this part of its route, the 92 currently operates one-way:

• eastbound, towards St Raphael’s via Engineers Way, Fifth Way, Fourth Way and Great Central Way; and
• westbound, towards Ealing Hospital via Great Central Way, South Way, First Way and Engineers Way

 

We propose to reroute the 92 and change it to two-way operation in the Wembley Stadium area

• It would serve Fifth Way and Fourth Way in both directions
• It would no longer serve bus stop C13 on Third Way and bus stop 36584 on First Way

 

How this may change your route 92 bus journey

 

We would like to make you aware of the following expected impacts if we were to change route 92 as proposed. Read the Initial Equalities Impact Assessment document for full details:

• Current users of route 92 would benefit from a common, two-way routing in the Wembley area, simplifying the bus network
• Passengers currently boarding or alighting at the Third Way bus stop C13 (which would not be served) would need to travel up to 300 metres and cross the road to a proposed new bus stop on Fourth Way. There is not a traffic signal operated crossing point between Third Way and Fourth Way
• Passengers currently boarding or alighting at the First Way bus stop 36584 (which would not be served) would need to travel around the corner for 250 metres to the existing ‘Olympic Way’ bus stop (36581) on Engineers Way.
• The proposed Third Way and First Way bus stop changes may impact between 200-300 passengers of route 92
  

 

 

Proposals – Bus route 206

 

Route 206 operates between Wembley, The Paddocks and Kilburn Park Station. Our proposals relate to the section of its route between Bridge Road and Great Central Way only. On this part of its route, the 206 currently operates one-way:

• south-east bound, towards Kilburn Park Station via Bridge Road, Wembley Park Drive, Empire Way, Fulton Road, Rutherford Way, Engineers Way, Fifth Way, Fourth Way and Great Central Way
• north-west bound, towards Wembley Park via Great Central Way, South Way, First Way, Engineers Way, Rutherford Way, Fulton Road, Empire Way, Wembley Park Drive and Bridge Road

 

We propose to reroute the 206 and change it to two-way operation in the Wembley area

• It would serve Great Central Way, Fourth Way, Fifth Way, Fulton Road, Albion Way, North End Road and Bridge Road in both directions

 

It would no longer serve bus stops on Empire Way, Fulton Road, Rutherford Way, Engineers Way, First Way and South Way

 

How this may change your route 206 bus journey

 

We would like to make you aware of the following expected impacts if we were to change route 206 as proposed. Read the Initial Equalities Impact Assessment document for full details:

• Current users of route 206 would benefit from a common, two-way routing in the Wembley area, simplifying the bus network
• Passengers currently boarding or alighting at stop the Olympic Way bus stop (36582) on Fulton Way (which would not be served) would need to travel 300 metres to or from an existing stop on Fifth Way (CW43). To access Fifth Way, a walk across Fulton Road and the entrance to Yellow Car Park on Engineers Way would be required
• Passengers currently boarding or alighting at stop the Olympic Way bus stop (36581) on Fulton Way (which would not be served) would need to travel 400 metres to a proposed new bus stop on Fulton Road. To access Fulton Road, people would need to cross the road at Engineers Way. There are not pedestrian crossing facilities at this location, and it may be preferable to cross the road twice to access wider pavements away from car park entrances
• Passengers currently boarding or alighting at Rutherford Way bus stops BP820 and BP819 (which would not be served) would need to travel 300 metres to proposed new bus stops on either Fulton Road or North End Road. To access Fulton Road or North End Road people would need to cross over roads where there are not pedestrian crossing facilities
• Passengers currently boarding or alighting at Fulton Road bus stops BP822 and BP821 would need to travel 400 metres to proposed new bus stops on North End Road or 420 metres to proposed new bus stops at the eastern end of Fulton Road. To access Fulton Road or North End Road people would need to cross over roads where there are not pedestrian crossing facilities
• Passengers currently boarding or alighting at Empire Way bus 20944 (which would not be served) would need to travel 250 metres to existing bus stop 20992 at Wembley Park Station. To access this bus stop people would need to cross the road at Brook Avenue, where there is not a traffic signal operated crossing point
• Passengers travelling on routes 83, 182, 223 and 297 wishing to interchange to route 206 and vice versa would need to ride an additional 250 metres and change bus Wembley Park Station (stop 20992)
• The proposed bus stop changes described above may impact approximately 700 passengers of route 206

 

 

 

Proposals - Bus route 440

 

Route 440 operates between Turnham Green Church and Wembley, First Way. Our proposals relate to the section of its route between Engineers Way and Great Central Way only. On this part of the route, the 440 currently operates one-way:

• westbound towards Turnham Green Church via Engineers Way, Fifth Way, Fourth Way, Great Central Way, South Way and First Way to its bus stand
• eastbound, towards Wembley, First Way to its bus stand via Engineers Way

 

We propose to reroute the 440 and change it to two-way operation:

• westbound towards Turnham Green Church the 440 would operate from Great Central Way to Fourth Way, Fifth Way and Engineers way to line of route
• eastbound towards Wembley the 440 would operate via Engineers Way, Fifth Way, Atlas Road, Hannah Close and Great Central Way to its relocated bus stand
• As a result of this proposal, route 440 would serve proposed new bus stops on Fifth Way, Fourth Way, Hannah Close and Great Central Way
• It would no longer serve bus stops on Third Way, First Way, Atlas Road and Carey Way

 

 

How this may change your route 440 bus journey

We would like to make you aware of the following expected impacts if we were to change route 440 as proposed. Read the Initial Equalities Impact Assessment document for full details:

• Current users of route 440 between The Paddocks and Wembley Park Station would benefit from faster bus journeys between these places
• People currently boarding or alighting at the First Way bus stop 36584 (which would not be served) would need to travel around the corner for 250 metres to the existing ‘Olympic Way’ bus stop (36581) on Engineers Way
• People currently boarding or alighting at Third Way bus stop C13 would need travel up to 300 metres to a proposed new stop on Fourth Way. To access Fourth Way, people would need to cross the road at Third Way and Fourth Way and there are not pedestrian crossing facilities at this location
• People currently boarding or alighting at Atlas Road bus stop CW44 and Carey Way bus stop CW45 on Fourth Way would need to cross Fourth Way and travel around 100m to a proposed new bus stop on Fourth Way. There are not pedestrian crossing facilities at this location
• The proposed bus stop changes described above may impact approximately 150 passengers of route 440

 

As part of redevelopment plans, Brent Council is holding a separate public consultation that proposes to reconnect North End Road with Wembley Park Drive with access for vehicles, including buses. It is also proposing to move First Way from one-way to two-way operation. This would include moving the bus stand currently sited on First Way, to a new location on Great Central Way.
