Name Change of 86 Bus Stop outside St. Cedd’s
Parishioners may have noticed that the 86 bus stop outside the church, previously named ‘Roman Catholic Church of St Cedds’, has been changed to ‘Kingston Road’. We have been shared TFL’s response to someone who challenged this change.
TFL replied:
‘I completely understand your concerns about this change. As a regular user of the route, your feedback about how important clear and familiar stop names are, especially for accessibility and ease of navigation is both valid and appreciated. I recognise how the previous “St Cedd’s” announcement would have been a well-
I have shared your comments with our Change Management team, who are responsible for reviewing and maintaining stop naming conventions across the network. They have advised that the stop name was changed because the “Roman Catholic Church of St Cedd” does not meet the criteria required to be classified as a “major church or religious building” for naming purposes.
To provide some context, locations such as St Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, the East London Mosque, or Neasden Temple are considered major landmarks and therefore meet the criteria to be reflected in stop names. In this case, while St Cedd’s is clearly an important and well-
As a result, the stop has been standardised as “Kingswood Road,” and there are currently no plans to reinstate “St Cedd’s” within the onboard announcement or introduce a dual naming format.
I do appreciate that this will be disappointing to hear, particularly given your experience and the value the previous name provided to passengers. Please be assured that your feedback has been carefully considered and recorded, as it helps inform future reviews and decisions.’
We may as a parish like to challenge this response from TFL and there will be more information in the near future.
