Michael – thank you for taking the time to read our summary and commenting.

Unfortunately we can’t obtain the actual passenger numbers as this is regarded as commercially sensitive data by the bus companies. We can only estimate based on the 90 odd buses that go up and down the High Street every hour.

Regarding your comment on the ‘Friday Fields’ cut, that would indeed increase the number of potential stopping points. However, it is a crossing point that the residents in the surrounding area use frequently and feel is currently dangerous. There is of course no simple solution with regard to the impact on air quality other than fewer vehicles will mean less pollution.

Can you obtain the ‘actual’ passenger numbers, which would be the more interesting figure?
If there is a crossing established at the top of Matthew Bank at ‘Friday Fields’ cut I reckon that would be five sets of lights before stopping at the BHR (if another crossing point is also sited just before BHR). That is going to slow down traffic markedly through a residential area and lead to more pollution surely.
