Twickenham's MP thinks there may be a positive solution to two issues concerning buses in the area. Vincent Cable and representatives from Richmond Council met Transport for London (TfL) executives to speak about two controversial decisions concerning buses in the borough.
Late last year, an all-night service was introduced on the 111 route, which runs from Kingston to Heathrow airport through Hampton and Dr Cable has received complaints from residents in Hampton, particularly in Nightingale Road, because of the disruption caused by this service and the fact that it does not seem to be widely used.

Dr Cable also wanted to discuss a decision to replace the 465, half-hourly bus through Teddington, which was the only bus to run along Sandy Lane, with a new 481 hourly service on a different route.
