	Transport Plans for the London Area - Central or Londonwide
		The bus station, rather than the railway station, is the preferred terminus because bus arrivals in Peckham outnumber rail by 20:1 and transfer from East-West bus to CRT is seen as important traffic.

		Station access would be improved: more than 70 stations would be modernised (there are 107 stations on the 5 lines).
