As of last weekend Walton-on-Thames railway station is no longer a bus
teacup (from 29 August '15).

Previously all buses came in to Station Avenue from or across Hersham Road,
all stops served buses in all directions and all buses returned to or
crossed Hersham Road.

(North Surrey, predominantly Abellio Surrey)

Now buses passing or for the same destination leave from opposite stops on
Station Avenue.

To Hersham Green the 555 goes via Hersham Rd and the 458 (to Kingston) via
Ashley Rd and Queens Road

To Walton town centre the 458 (to Staines) continues via Hersham Rd and the
555 (Heathrow Central) now goes via Ashley Rd past some very expensive
houses that haven't seen a 2 bph service in living memory.

Also an extended 514 service to Weybridge and beyond now passes for a total
5 bph in each direction.

Whichever committee thought this up must had fun. No buses to Middleborough
though and the anomaly that one street had twice as many buses per hour on
Sundays has gone.

Will the Council remove the "Warning Buses Turn Right From Nearside" sign,
now wholly redundant ?

What, pray tell, is a bus teacup when it's at home and can one find a
storm in one?
