We have received the following from TfL
Hi All,
I have had a number of comments fairly recently from multiple stakeholders about coaches parking/waiting on bus stops and blocking bus services. Most recently outside the Park Lane Hilton (presumably before/after an event).
Please can you remind members the broad rules on stops:
Yellow routes
- Set down and pick up are permitted on double and single yellow lines – however, activity must be taking place. Some London boroughs allow an observation time – however, this does not apply when loading restrictions are in force
- Check signs before using bus stops to pick up and set down as most are restricted to ‘local’ or ‘LT/TfL’ buses. Parking and waiting is not permitted at any time
Red routes
- Double red lines: no stopping at any time
- Single red lines: no stopping during restricted hours
- Vehicles registered as a bus can use red route bus stops, but must not park or wait, and activity must be taking place
- Some Red Route bus stops in busy areas now restricted to ‘local’ buses.
