Jo spoke to fellow MPs today of the numerous transport problems facing people in Orpington and Biggin Hill in a debate on South East London rail services.

On the 320 bus, Jo repeated that the new route beyond Bromley "has not worked" and he "would urge TfL to revert back to the old route" which was "very successful".

On the breakdown of Orpington lifts, he called for Southeastern to show "more responsiveness to the concerns of constituents.  We were faced with a situation in Orpington where a lift so necessary for people of limited mobility was out of action for eight weeks at the beginning of this year.  It took the threat of a wheelchair demonstration of disabled people to bring the lift back to working order." 

On fast trains to Orpinginton, Jo raised the issue of fast trains stopping at Orpington during peak hours.  "This is a major commuter town – and my constituents are on their knees begging for this service."
