The Public Transport Service Planning team at Transport for London (TfL), have been made aware of route 638 leaving before school bell time in the afternoon. Unfortunately due to the way route 638 operates, the school journeys from Kemnal Technology College connect to the school journey the Eltham College, so the bus operator was unable to complete this request.  

To provide a temporary fix for the issue, they are planning to provide a trip from Kemnal Technology College to Grove Park station which should cater for the majority of students. This temporary solution will be implemented from early December 2022. The proposed trip departure times from Kemnal Technology College will be as follows:

It is noted, TfL is looking to provide a permanent solution where Kemnal Technology College will have a long journey to Bromley South station again – with plans to try to implement this in February 2023. But this will require engagement with the other schools on this route
