Temporarily Moving Bus Stop

Recommended Posts

I have a potential job coming up in Sidcup where the tree is right next to a bus stop - actually Transport For London (TFL) put the stop next to the tree a few months back and then stuck a sign before it saying low trees - duh!

 

Anyway, how does one apply to move the bus stop for the day? One of those nice temporary bus stop signs is needed etc.

 

Does anyone know which department or contact to ask about this within TFL?

 

Thanks in advance

I did a job by a road with a bus stop about a year ago. I had a Traffic Management company in to do the lights, told them there was a bus stop in the work area so that they could plan for it. All they did on the day was put a bag over the Bus Stop sign and cone it off, effectively removing the bus stop for the day. I asked them about it, as I presumed it would have to be kept open, but they just said that was the easiest way of dealing with it. :lol:

 

Not sure if that's any help to you, but it worked for me. :thumbup:

Here is the tree / site.

 

The road is actually a station approach, not massively busy and the tree is being re-pollarded so did wonder if we could get away without full tm with signs and barriers :blushing: its just the bus stop thats the issue with it.
