Despite a run of very fine weather, it rained intermittently throughout the Annual  Village Show  on 10 September, held in the Pinner Memorial Park.  Fortunately there was also an indoor exhibition in West House  illustrating  the history of  Pinner fire station, but the animals in the petting park looked decidedly bedraggled.

Route 182 (Harrow Weald – Brent Cross shopping centre)

• New more environmentally friendly hybrid buses with Euro VI standard engines will be introduced.
• Frequencies will be increased on Sunday daytime and each evening to every 10 minutes (previously every 12 minutes).
• Increasing demand on this route between North Wembley and Harrow will also addressed by new route 483 from Saturday 10 September 2016 – details below.

 

Route 183 (Golders Green – Pinner)

• From Monday 5 September:

Route H14 (Hatch End to Northwick Park Hospital)

• An additional journey will run on schooldays, departing Hatch End at 07:42 to Northwick Park Hospital. This will use a double-deck bus.

From Saturday 10 September:

Route 83 (Ealing Hospital – Golders Green)

• Route 83 will run between Alperton and Golders Green only.
• New route 483 will take over the section between Ealing Hospital and Alperton and continue to Harrow bus station via Wembley, East Lane and Northwick Park Hospital (overlapping with route 83 between Alperton and Wembley Stadium).
• The night route will continue to run between Ealing Hospital and Golders Green and will be renumbered N83.

Emails are also being sent to users of affected routes who have a registered Oyster card, informing them of the improvements.

Pinner experienced a new first on Sunday 28 August – a performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by the Illyria Players in Pinner Memorial Park.  The dark clouds of the day started to disperse as evening approached and the large crowd assembled.  Their kind support was rewarded with the funniest and most accessible performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  Everyone was entranced, and nothing but words of praise were heard as people wended their way home in the dark through the park.  The organisers – The West House & Heath Robinson Museum Trust – may well have started a new tradition.
