Carshalton and Wallington MP Tom Brake is urging residents to help maintain the under-threat 127 bus service.

Transport for London (TfL) has launched an autumn consultation of the service to analyse the structure and performance of the route.

But Mr Brake is asking residents to submit their views to TfL for consultation to help ensure the service.

The 127 bus runs from Purley and passes through both Wallington, Carshalton, Hackbridge and Mitcham on its way to Tooting.

The consultation is part of a routine process to review reliability, passenger usage and other ways of improving the service ahead of its renewal in July 2012. It will also be open to more general feedback on the greater bus network in and around the capital.

The Member of Parliament also urged residents sending their views to TfL to copy him into their submissions to help him to keep them informed of any new developments.

He said: “The 127 bus is an important service to Carshalton and Wallington, passing through the heart of the constituency. A high number of responses will help to create a more detailed and extensive review.”

You can submit your views on the 127 bus service and the bus network in London by email to STEngagement@tfl.gov.uk .

Alternatively you can post your submissions to TfL Consultation and Engagement Centre, Surface Transport Communication, Floor 11, Zone Y6, Palestra, 197 Blackfriars Road, London SE1 8NJ.

Last year Mr Brake joined forces with residents to help ensure the X26 bus service continued to utilise the Plough bus stop in Wallington after TfL threatened to cancel it.
