Looks like Putney Bridge has to be closed for 6 months for repairs. Wandsworth Council have published a paper that sets out the issues. The preferred option, based on the available funding, is to fully close the bridge. TfL have indicated they will object given the impact of bus services and, in particular, Putney Garage. Pedestrians will be able to walk across the bridge during the works. Looks like fun times ahead. |

The bridge was widened before the first war and again in the 20's. Kingston bridge was widened without any loss of access. If it's so bad it needs closure, why not build a new one beside it? Brunel would be turning in his grave  |

Traffic will be chaos
A lot of bus routes will probably have long diversions

That could happen but it's just the space for the stands but it would be a good idea for routes like 93 and 85 because they pass the area |

Also not to mention a new bus type being introduced there (WVL/WHV). |

Extended from Fulham to Hammersmith and then takes up 485 routing to Wandsworth 430 Diverted via Wandsworth Bridge and Fulham Broadway N22 diverted as per 22 N74 follows 430 diversion Routes 14 & 74 temporarily allocated to MW I appreciate we're just having a little bit of fun here but surely anything running from the North will simply be curtailed at Putney Bridge station with passengers left to walk to the south side of the bridge? I suspect there might be a shuttle service between Putney Heath and Putney Common (assuming the stand can cope) or else the 265 is sent there to terminate. I agree the 85 and 93 will be cut short at the Garage - assuming the side road can cope. I'm doubtful the 14 would be sent to Hammersmith or the 22 sent round via Wandsworth - that would take a load of resource for revised schedules plus crew reliefs. The scheme is going to be immensely disruptive though - the stops along Putney High St are very busy and with buses starting at Putney Station or the north side of the bridge there are going to be a lot of people facing very inconvenient journeys. I can't imagine the local shop owners are pleased at the prospect of losing so much passing trade. Of course the Paper does include the clever move of Wandsworth saying "if TfL want to run a bus service so badly then they should stump up the extra £350k cost". Nice bit of "blackmail" there - especially as Wandsworth are paying nothing towards the work. Their £150k "contribution" will come from their LIP funding from TfL! |

N22 & N74 diversion 333 to MW temp 87 AL & 170 to PL temp or 19 Part Allocation to NP temp and full N19 temp. 430 no replacement as it follows the 74, just the Roehampton Section covered instead extended to Wandsworth replacing the 220 for 6 months 424 run in two sections Putney Heath to Putney High Street using 1 bus AF Fulham Craven Cottage to Putney Bridge operated from SW all 424 tickets through to the District Line |
