A key bus route for Kingston residents could be changed if plans to install more fixed bus stops for the K1 are approved.

The K1 bus route runs between Kingston and New Malden rail station.

If approved the plans would replace a Hail and Ride section of the route in the Sunray and Egmont Estates, along Barnsbury Lane, Warren Drive South, Knollmead and Southwood Drive, with nine fixed bus stops - three with shelters.

A TfL spokesman said: "While Hail and Ride can be very convenient for some customers, fixed bus stops have a number of advantages, particularly better accessibility for older and disable people, especially wheelchair users, and for parents with buggies and young children.

"They can also help improve reliability on higher frequency busy bus routes such as the K1, which has grown in popularity in recent years."

Following feedback from the consultation, the new bus stops would be built in summer/autumn 2016.

Proposals from Transport for London would see changes to the pavements, roads and grass verges, with amended restrictions on parking.

The consultation closes on March 20. Visit consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/k1 for more information.
