I am a big fan of the W3 Bus, which I use regularly as it travels the length of Stroud Green ward from Weston Park to Finsbury Park Station (so much of a fan I put it at the top of my website!). However, I know it can sometimes be frustrating with recent road works and diversions causing delays – and buses being jammed in the morning rush hour.
The thing that really annoys me sometimes is the lack of information at Finsbury Park, particularly when there is a problem with the bus route – What’s the point of having a Tannoy in the bus station if its only ever used to tell people not to skateboard?!
Anyway, now people have a chance to have their say, because Transport for London (TfL) have announced a review of the route. To find out people’s view Ed Butcher and I have produced a W3 Bus survey which we’ve been delivering across the ward over the last few weeks. But if you haven’t had a copy yet then please email me, or just post your comments on the W3 on this page.
TfL’s deadline for responses is this Friday (12th) March. Ed and I will be summarising the responses and sending them on to TfL in a few days time.

Better information about how long it will be until the next bus leaves from Finsbury Park would be great, both for those of us who can choose between W3 or one of the other buses but also because a countdown makes the time feel like it is passing more quickly than if you’re stood there in ignorance and staring in frustration at a parked, dark, empty bus.
