Existing bus stops exist in the area & publicity.

Greetings. I'd like to take a minute to thank everyone who has been supporting this petition. It means a lot knowing that people want this to happen.

Over the past week, I have been working hard to promote this petition as much as possible. This has included putting mini posters up at key bus stops along both the SL4 and 129 bus route, and in the area of ExCel London. Some in the ExCel London area are different and highlights that these locations could be bus stops. These ones have been placed at the 3 potential stops that feature along this reroute. 

Whilst I was putting up the bus stop mini posters, I noticed that there is in fact an old TFL Bus Stop on the Western Gateway outside the passport office. After a little research, I discovered that this was from Covid times when the ExCel Centre was used as the Nightingale Hospital. This stop was served by double decker staff buses, with a frequency of around every 5 minutes. This proves that the area would be able to handle frequent services from the 129 and SL4. In addition, the old bus stops are STILL registered on the TFL systems. Which means they can be reinstated. 

I urge you all to please spread the word of this petition and try to get more people to sign.

I am in the process of compromising a Google Drive folder which will be made available to the public with useful publicity materials that can be used by all. Once this is complete, I will be reaching out to local buisness and asking them to please support in any way they can.

To end this update, I'd like to say one last thank you to everyone who is supporting this petition. Together, we can get the transport links we want and make a difference.
