The new b1 bus service to basildon.
It runs on avenue road harold wood this road is too narrow to have a bus service run through it, especially when there are cars parked on either side of the road making it even narrower,the service running down avenue road has already resulted in 2 parked cars being hit by the buses. The road is already starting to crack from the weight of these electric buses. It has caused congestion and hold ups on the road at busier periods i can only imagine the carange when the kids go back to school. I feel this route would be best suited to going up church road like the other buses of harold wood.
Its a new service but havent seen a sole using it only person on bus is the driver. Also Maybe a service to chelmsford would be more popular to harold wood residents an also for chelmsford residents for obtaining the elizabeth line just a thought.
