LONDON Mayor Ken Livingstone will look into the possibility of linking Biggin Hill and the new hospital by bus.

During questioning from LibDem London Assembly members, he admitted it is needed but says it might not be cost effective because of the limited number of daily trips.

At present, there is no direct route from Biggin Hill to the new Princess Royal University Hospital, in Farnborough.

Assembly member Graham Tope said: “There’s public demand and if it’s not provided, people will have problems reaching the hospital.”
