And what does this mean?

"It will not be possible to run a bus service to and from Barons Court
because of local street traffic conditions".

Why can't they stop on West Cromwell Road to serve Baron's Court if they
really can't turn round at the station?


If the service was extended from Hammersmith to Barons Court, it would
need to be turned there - but there is no right turn off the A4 to the
station.

I don't think there's much chance of a stop on the A4 itself (without
legislation) as it is a red-route and very busy.

Having said all that, I should have thought it might be possible to turn
left off the A4, up towards Edith Road, and then stop soon after leaving
the A4, returning to Hammersmith along the Hammersmith Road.
Nevertheless, there would probably not be any room for a stopover, and
it would leave an awkward crossing for people back over the busy
Talgarth Road.

I suspect the truth of the matter is that Baron's Court is not greatly
used by westbound passengers, especially at weekends - and Hammersmith
is only a short walk away for those that do need the tube.
