30f3,Regarding the withdrawal ,of t e East ondon Line bus replacement service,I would like to reassure you that TfL does not take these decisions lightly,however as we have seen a 40% decrease in passenger numbers.continuing the service simply did not offer good value for money. Weundertook passenger counts and this showed that for the ELC service. on,average there were 10 passengers per bus in the week, 8 on Saturdays and7 on Sundays. The morning peak average is 1,8 per bus and the eveningpeak average is 17 per bus. With respect to journey times I can offer thefollowing comparison. Travelling from New Cross Gate station to SurreyQuays using the bus replacement service currently takes approximately 15minutes. Taking the standard bus service from New Cross to Surrey Quaystakes 13 minutes, p us approximately 5 minutes to walk from New CrossGate to New Gross station.Finally I understand that you wanted a contact for Southern Services and 'Iwould suggest that you direct your queries to Yvonne Leslie StakeholderManager on 020 ,89298674 or email: Yvonne.leslie@sQuthemrailway.com.

ope that this addresses all of your quest ons, howe,ver please don'thesitate la get in touch if you need any further information.Yours sincerely,d- f"-t'
