Contract
reassigned to London United, and routeing via Compass Centre withdrawn
At
Hampton Sainsbury's buses stayed outside until remedial works were made
by Sainsbury's, allegedly the longer buses couldn't turn there. Buses
re-entered Sainsbury's by September. More importantly, in Hampton Hill
buses were rerouted away from Windmill Road, because of problems with
parked cars, especially in the narrow section at the High Street end -
the installation of chicanes along the road hadn't helped either. Nothing
was ever done about this, and in the end the temporary rerouteing became
permanent. New stops were then added in the previously unserved section
of Uxbridge Road south of Windmill Road - the 726 used to traverse this
section nonstop, but now calls at the new stop at Ormond Drive! (also
used by the R70, but there was no stop there before). This broke up a
long nonstop section on the 726 between Park Road and Hampton Church.
New Night route added (N285) making this a 24 hour service.
Route H91 was transferred to Stamford
brook (V) to make room for this new addition

HEATHROW Terminal
3 - KINGSTON
Route
T123, from Feltham Station to Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 & 3, was merged
with the 285. Buses were diverted via a double run on New Road, off Feltham
Station roadbridge, to the north side of Feltham Station (though southbound
buses can use the Bedfont Lane level crossing if the gates are open, they
don't miss any stops doing this), and at Heathrow was extended to Terminal
3 (the T123 had served all three terminals). There was also a pvr increase
and even newer route branded DPSs with luggage space were provided (the
DPs off the T123 were employed elsewhere at AV and HH, and the nearly
new DPSs off the 285 went to TV for Routes K2/K3). However, there was
stand problems at Terminal 3, and the route was soon cut back to the Central
Bus Station. The date was never recorded officially, but was sometime
between 5 January 2002 and April 2002.
