Improvements for coaches made, with six further drop-off locations added to trial

Phase two of the trial that allows coach passengers to be set down and picked up at specific locations on Transport for London’s Road Network (TLRN), commonly known as Red Routes, has been launched.

Six further drop-off locations in London have been added to Red Routes trial

It follows the successful trial at five locations earlier this year.

For this tranche, specific locations along Albany Street, Albert Embankment, Brompton Road, Cromwell Road, Tower Bridge Road and Vauxhall Bridge Road are involved at times when traffic flows allow.

The arrangements allow coaches to set down and pick up passengers within a 10-minute period at the specified points. Any use of these facilities outside the given window and/or for any other purpose will result in a PCN being issued. Any regular infringement could result in the withdrawal of one or all of these facilities.

This latest phase follows co-operation between the London Tourist Coach Operators Association (LTCOA) and the Confederation of Passenger Transport (CPT) with Transport for London (TfL).

As with the first phase – which remains in operation – the arrangements will be specifically trialled with members of the LTCOA and CPT.

Andy Warrender, Coach Executive of the CPT, says: “Following the successful first phase of the recent [red route] trial, CPT welcomes the announcement that it is to be expanded across a further six locations in central London.

“CPT firmly believes that this success will provide a platform on which to build, and we look forward to continuing to work closely with the LTCOA and TfL in order to realise our ambitions for coaches in London.”

The exact locations included in phase two of the Red Route trial are:

  • Albany Street – Melia White House Hotel, NW1 3UP
  • Albert Embankment – Park Plaza London Riverbank, SE1 7TJ
  • Brompton Road – Harrods, SW1X 7XL
  • Cromwell Road – Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum, SW7 4DN
  • Tower Bridge Road, Grange Primary School, SE1 4TP
  • Vauxhall Bridge Road – Apollo Theatre, 17 Wilton Road, Pimlico, London SW1V 1LG

The locations in phase one of the trial are:

  • Addington Street – Park Plaza County Hall, SE1 7RY
  • Cromwell Road – National History Museum and Science Museum, SW7 5BD
  • Lower Thames Street – Old Billingsgate EC3R 6DX
  • Prescott Street, Grange Tower Bridge Hotel, E1 8GP
  • Southwark Street – Borough Market, SE1 1TL

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
