In recent months (perhaps going back at least a year) TfL have stopped or reduced the numbers of occasions where setting up temporary bus stops that are nearby to ones that are closed for reasons such as road works is carried out.
The practice of setting up temporary stops was well founded and helped minimise disruption for bus passengers where there were long gaps between regular bus-stops on routes. The longer walks to reach another regular stop can be distressing for those less mobile passengers.
It is accepted that in some locations, setting up temporary stops can be more difficult - but current practice adopted by TfL seems to be not to make any effort at all.
Time to re-think this, TfL, and re-adopt use of temporary stops.
