In response to the Transport for London’s (TfL) announcement that from 18th January, the W8 and W9 buses will call at new bus stop inside the grounds of Chase Farm Hospital, close to the main entrance, local London Assembly Member, Joanne McCartney AM, said:
“With the new bus stop being situated directly outside the hospital’s main entrance, it will make life a lot easier for patients and passengers who use local bus services to visit Chase Farm Hospital.
“I hope this planned change will also encourage residents to leave their cars at home, improving air quality around the hospital site.
“This comes alongside the new 456 route proposed to run to North Middlesex University Hospital which I have long campaigned for, so I am pleased that TfL are taking such comprehensive action to improve bus links to our local hospitals in Enfield.”
