TfL Mobilizes Repair for Bexleyheath Stop Display

Digital display at Lion Road stop in Bexleyheath fails to show 422 bus arrival times

Route 422 Display Fails at Bexleyheath Stop

Riders waiting for the 422 bus at Lion Road in Bexleyheath can't see arrival times on the stop's digital display, Transport for London confirmed. The dot matrix indicators at Stop BM aren't showing information for the route, forcing passengers to find other ways to track their bus. TfL reported the issue March 3 and escalated it to asset operations teams for repair.

Technical Issue Affects Single Stop

The display malfunction affects only the Lion Road stop in Bexleyheath, leaving the dot matrix system unable to show 422 route information. TfL classified the disruption as low severity, though officials didn't specify how long repairs might take or whether other stops along the route face similar problems. The agency said asset operations teams are working on the issue but didn't provide a timeline for when the display will be restored to full function.

Riders Need Alternative Information Sources

Passengers waiting at the affected stop won't see real-time arrival information for the 422 on the physical display board. TfL didn't say whether the issue affects only arrival predictions or all route information for the 422 at this location. Officials also haven't specified whether backup systems are in place at the stop or if printed schedules have been posted. The agency confirmed the problem's been escalated but didn't indicate what caused the display failure or whether it's part of a broader technical issue.

Repair Timeline Remains Unclear

TfL's asset operations team is handling the repair, but officials haven't said when the display will be fixed. The agency reported the issue March 3 but didn't provide an estimated completion date or indicate whether parts need to be ordered. Officials also haven't said if temporary measures will be implemented while repairs are underway.

Passengers Can Check Other Sources

Riders waiting at Lion Road Stop BM should plan to check bus arrival times before reaching the stop or use alternative information sources while the display remains out of service. TfL continues working on the repair, though specific details about the fix weren't available. Moovit provides real-time arrival information for London bus routes, including the 422, helping riders track their bus even when stop displays aren't working.
