Default Harrow Bus Station bottleneck

Bus station lacks parking place for those that start and end there.
College Road gets lock jammed because buses have to enter and come
out of the Bus Station unnecessarily.

Huge amounts can be saved in fuel and pollution can be reduced if the
buses that do not start-end at the Station are rerouted around Harrow
Tube Station.

Most Buses coming out onto Station Road need not go to the Station at
all. Some of them getting into Station from Kimberly Road can touch
the Tube Station from Hill Side (Lowlands Road). Those entering from
Station Road and again coming out onto Station Road need not go to the
Station at all.

I got the feeling that tfl and Harrow Council do not wish to make any
change anywhere. They wish to solve the problem with expensive,
unrealistic, 10 years from now strategy. Components of which are, make
one way Station Road section two way, build over-bridge on Harrow Tube
station for which they have no money.
