It's wiser to take in the other stations

THE idea of a north-south bus link seems a good idea.

THE idea of a north-south bus link seems a good idea. The only problem I see is why it should go to Uxbridge station.

As far as I know, buses run from the planned destinations to and from Uxbridge. So why another?

It would be preferable for the people who live in north Hillingdon (Long Lane), for it to go via Hillingdon and Ickenham stations.

At the moment, if I want to travel to the proposed destinations I have to use two or three buses and maybe a train.
