Netherne-on-the-Hill is a residential area of around 2000 people situated to the east of the A23 between Merstham and Coulsdon.
Netherne is currently not served by any public transport, despite TFL running services in the near, but not near enough, vicinity.
Netherne is almost 2 miles south of Coulsdon South railway station within the Transport for London (TfL) area.
Additionally two TFL bus routes, 405 and 463 serve surrounding towns including Coulsdon, and Redhill and Merstham to the south.
However, for the people of Netherne the nearest stop is a long and steep walk of around 900 metres from the village.
A simple and easy solution which would go a long way to filling Netherne’s public transport hole and relieving the residents car dependency would be for a simple extension to the existing TFL 463 bus route.
This would link the nearly 2,000 people who live in Netherne to Coulsdon South station and the wider public transport network.
Councillor Shasha Khan for the East Surrey Green Party has been campaigning vigorously for the residents of Netherne-on-the-Hill including petitioning Mayor Sadiq Khan directly.
