Can you catch the easyBus?

Like me you have probably seen the bright orange branding of the Stelios Haji-Ioannou’s easyBus as it plies its trade up and down the Woodcote Road on route between London Victoria station and Gatwick airport.

At peak times the service runs every 20 minutes and off peak every 30 minute for much of the way – but you try to catch it! Unfortunately the bus just passes through Wallington on its way to the airport or to London. But it does stop in Coulsdon and in Streatham High Road.

I think there’s a hidden demand for this fast and reliable bus service from local residents who want to get to the airport without having to take their own car and hire a cab, so I’ve written to the man at the top – Stelios – to ask him to consider adding a stop in Wallington. I’m looking forward to his reply.
