WARREN ROAD, BR6: Due to SGN gas works, from 08:00 on Monday 15 August until 17:00 on Sunday 21 August, ROUTE R1 is terminating on The Highway, Chelsfield instead of at Green Street Green. Buses towards St Paul's Cray will start at the stop 'Sandhurst Road' on Repton Road. |

Click here LBR is run by an enthusiast in his spare time so I think the odd error can be forgiven, this site provides all the information that TfL don't bother to provide. |

The driver I spoke to on R1 yesterday said they are serving first 2 stops after leaving Green Street Green, then stopping at any bus stop on their diversion, which takes them up along Sevenoaks Road then up Repton Road to the Highway to rejoin line of route. I wonder which version is correct? |

I wonder which version is correct? If my recent experience is anything to go by, I'd guess the driver is correct. I had a similar situation over at Shadwell where resurfacing works closed a road that the 339 stands on. The bus stop told me to go to a particular stop only for the driver to tell me that his company has told them not to serve the stop I went and to start instead from the stop after the closed one. |

The bus stop told me to go to a particular stop only for the driver to tell me that his company has told them not to serve the stop I went and to start instead from the stop after the closed one. That's so typical to any diversions these days. I remember a couple of months ago, part of the roads outside Canada Square was closed due to crane works and all the routes serving Canary Wharf were diverted. TfL said the stops along North/South Colonnade were all closed, but turned out the drivers were using their own judgement! My D7 went down the Upper Bank Street onto Aspen Way then into Hertsmere Road to get back into the lower level of Westferry Circus so that it could still serve the Westferry Station stop. But the D7 after us went down the West India Dock Road and turned into Burdett Road directly, skipping two more stops. Also saw other 135/277 all going different ways so made me wonder if there's an instruction at all! |

Would tfl ever agree to run a split route? With just a minor tweak to where the workmen are dumping rubble, the R1 from Green Street Green could serve 8 stops and turn at Chelsfield Station, and the R1 from St Pauls Cray could run normal line of route to the Highway School, leaving just a couple of hundred yards and 1 unserved stop in between the 2 sections. Is there a fundamental barrier to working this way?

Is there a fundamental barrier to working this way? There are ways and means to achieve this. When the road was closed at Leaves Green for a day or two a couple of weeks ago for emergency gas works we ran a split service on the 246 with buses running Bromley North to Keston Common and Westerham to Biggin Hill. It was a bit of a pain for people having to connect to Bromley through the 464/314 via Saltbox Hill and New Addington but it at least kept Westerham residents with some sort of service to Bromley In the OP situation it wouldn’t take much negotiation between Go Ahead and TfL to create some sort of service along Glentrammon Road and Windsor Drive - as stated, it’s rather unfair that a significant part of the route loses its service for a week |
