CDRA continues campaign for better access to Epsom Hospital
From 5th September 2026, operation of the 467 bus route (Hook – Ewell – Epsom) on behalf of Transport for London (TfL), transferred to Falcon Buses.
Falcon Buses and its Managing Director, Richard Telling, have built a strong reputation for delivering reliable and efficient bus services across Surrey. During the transition period, passengers may notice older Enviro buses, originally operated by Stagecoach, being used while Falcon awaits the arrival of its new electric vehicle fleet.
The new buses, due to enter service by the end of November, will be Alexander Dennis Enviro400EV double-deck electric vehicles. Designed specifically for London’s bus network, these next-generation buses offer improved manoeuvrability, greater passenger comfort and enhanced accessibility.
The vehicles feature:
- High-backed passenger seating for greater comfort.
- Increased passenger capacity.
- A wheelchair bay with access via an electric ramp.
- Zero-emission electric operation, helping to reduce local air pollution and carbon emissions.
CDRA welcomes this investment by Falcon Buses and the introduction of modern, environmentally friendly vehicles on the route.
Improving the route for local residents
While the new buses are a positive development, CDRA continues to press for improvements to the route itself.
For more than a decade, CDRA has campaigned for every 467 service to operate via Epsom Hospital, providing consistent and reliable access to healthcare facilities for residents. We have also called for the route to return to stopping at Epsom Clock Tower, giving passengers easier access to the Ashley Centre, Epsom Marketplace and other town-centre amenities. Currently, some journeys terminate or stop in Station Approach, which is less convenient for many passengers.
Support the campaign
