Bus stands on TV
A NEW bus station at the Chatham Pentagon town centre development comes into use on Sunday. The new centre has closed circuit television to monitor bus stands and allow the controller to see the movement of traffic.
The new centre will also have communications with drivers of radio-equipped buses and telephone links for passenger inquiries.
More LT revenue
NEW FARE scales on LT buses are to be recommended to come into operation a month earlier than was originally thought.
The new fares will now come in on June 20 and not July 18 and the earlier date is expected to put £1.5m towards decreasing the shortfall in revenue expected by LT. New fare scales on the Underground will still come in on July 18.

The working party will also make recommendations to the GLC on the question of parttime worker representation at Board level.
