Future loss of curtailment points/diversion routes

[matthieu1221]

Thought this would be interesting to keep track of. This doesn't have to be 'official' curtailment points for late-running buses for instance, but whatever is used whenever an RTC/protest requires it would also work.

Lambeth Bridge Scheme

Roundabout(s) removal

--> Likely loss of Lambeth Bridge/Millbank curtailment points (87, C10)

-----> Vauxhall to be used in the case of Central London protests for the 87?

--> Likely loss of Lambeth Palace curtailment point (3, 77, C10, 344(?))

--> Scheme removes Horseferry Road/Millbank (North) left/right turn -- buses may or may not be able to use the banned turn in the case of diversions but until used in practice I don't know whether we can assume that

--> Scheme removes Lambeth Road/Lambeth Palace Road left/right turn -- same as above

The Deptford Church Street turn for 47, 188, 199 and N199 will be lost next year as a result of the roundabout at Reginald Road junction being removed for more cycle lanes.

Before the southbound lane closure of Deptford Church Street took place, this was the current setup:
47 terminated at Wavelengths (Bellingham-bound stop) and looped the roundabout to start the next trip at Wavelengths (Shoreditch-bound trip).
They also terminated at Deptford Bridge from
Bellingham (Shoreditch-bound stop) and looped the roundabout to start the next trip at Deptford Bridge (Bellingham-bound stop).

188, 199 and N199 from both terminal points, turned left/right onto Deptford Church Street to loop the roundabout and then head back up to either the Deptford High Street or Macmillan Students Village stops to start the next trip.

Deptford Bridge curtailments on 53, N53 and 177 from Plumstead / Thamesmead will also be lost as they use the roundabout to loop round as well.


All in all, this will impact 47, 188 and 199 more because of the traffic along Evelyn Street and Creek Road in the peaks and when Blackwall Tunnel is closed.
53, 177 and N53 at least have the New Cross turn which is two stops up from Deptford Bridge.

EDIT: I guess 47 might keep the DCS turn from Shoreditch but it'll have to run out of service to Greenwich town centre which I can't imagine would save much time in comparison to terminating at Deptford Bridge and using the 453 stand to loop round.

Old Street Station, I believe is no longer a turn for eastbound buses on the 43, 205, 214 since the closure of the roundabout.
Hence the 214 now curtails to Angel during protests and 205 turns to Old Street are inexistent - previously common.
