166 is diverted between Chipstead and Banstead due to roadworks in Woodmansterne. Buses are running direct between Chipstead Valley/ Rectory Lane and the terminus end of Banstead High Street via Outwood Lane and Holly Lane, meaning that buses are bypassing Pine Walk, Manor Way, The Readens, Woodmansterne Post Office, Merrymeet, Oaks Park, Fairlawn Grove, Croydon Lane South, Banstead/ The Woolpack and Glenfield Road. Buses heading towards Epsom Hospital will re-join the route at Casteton Drive. It's like the 166 has been transformed into an express service up until this Thursday  Leaves Woodmansterne without a bus service, contractors should have to pay for a replacement service. |

One thing that I should have highlighted is that this isn't all day. I believe that its from about 8AM to 6PM. The Woodmansterne section isn't overly busy, apart from during the peak hours. Also this is ending on Thursday so theres not too much to worry about and the disruption appears to be not so major  |

With the closure of Galpins Road, 60 follows 109 on London Road until Norbury, then Stanford Road as per 255 and then I think on line of route by Pollards Hill.

Courtesy of londonbusroutes.net: Over the Easter weekend, the 24/27/31/168/N5/N28/N31 are diverted northbound via Kentish Town Road and Prince of Wales Road, taking in the arch bridge at Kentish Town West.
The 31/168/N5/N28/N31 will also run via Harmood Street, passing the site of the old Chalk Farm garage (not that there's anything to see there any more).

Due to a police incident in Banstead, routes 166 and S1 are diverted via Winkworth Road and Bolters Lane back up to the High Street. Epsom buses on the 166 continue onwards heading straight for Banstead Crossroads. Normal service should resume by tomorrow morning

It just occurred to me that this Easter will be 30 years since Brixton Road at the town centre was closed over the Easter weekend in relation to the railway bridge replacement, although I don't remember which one it was ( the lower height one appears to come to mind).
I remember the weekend well as I was on a 159 which whilst on diversion missed the right turn from Coldharbour Lane into Gresham Road in which everybody started shouting at the driver that he's going the wrong way... especially with there being a low bridge ahead. Suffice to say the driver handled it well as he made very calm and careful maneuvers reversing the bus back to the junction where he could turn right into Gresham Road. The bus at the time was one of the Gardner engined Metros, though I don't quite remember whether it was a BN or AK bus.

The bus at the time was one of the Gardner engined Metros, though I don't quite remember whether it was a BN or AK bus. I was a year from being born so only a guess lol but I suspect it was both the high level bridge and the lower one as both have identical styling to each other to an extent which would indicate to me they were installed roughly at the same time. From that, I'd hazard a guess that a number of bridges in the Brixton & Loughborough Junction areas were replaced at a similar time particularly on the high level where every bridge between Loughborough Junction & Ferndale Road, Brixton is an identical style. |

I think BN were having one of their periodical removals from the 159 at the time, so guess it must have been an AK bus and driver. |

Yes but i believe the other one was done over a different weekend |

I can also remember the bridge in Green Lane in Penge being replaced and Leyland Nationals on the 75 and 194 as it was diverted under the low bridge in Penge Lane. |

15 is on diversion because Canon Street is closed. It was painfully slow via King William Street, Bank, and other various roads back to Monument. I think it was made worse by other roads on the diversion being closed.
I need to do this on a weekday next week dread to think how long it will take.

I think it was made worse by other roads on the diversion being closed. I need to do this on a weekday next week dread to think how long it will take. It’s a fair bit of a mess most weekdays. The northbound buses which generally use bishopsgate are also on diversion (king William street -> bank -> Threadneedle Street / old broad street onto wormwood street and back onto line of route), hence implying a higher volume of buses. On a separate note, still see some vans, cars and private vehicles going through bank junction. TfL must be raking in a small fortune from these fines |
