The 322 is on diversion due to Atlantic Road being closed for bridge works between Brixton Road & Coldharbour Lane however it's not following what is the usual diversion which is usually via Saltourn or Kellet Road onto the Lambeth Town Hall one way system and serving the main stops in Brixton before re-joining the route. Instead, the 322 is completely missing out the main shopping area & stations in Brixton and is running from Atlantic Road via the P5 to Loughborough Park, then Moorland Road and then follows the 345 to Brixton Academy. Now I can understand the 322 running via Loughborough Park & Somerleyton Road as traffic can only turn left from Gresham Road but coming from Coldharbour Lane, there are no restrictions and the 322 could make the left turn into Gresham Road with no problem yet towards Clapham Common, it still runs via Somerleyton - very baffling.

As of late a diversion in Brixton for 322 means using Coldharbour Lane though I haven't used it lately, the previous time I used the diversion on-paper it was as you state, though in reality omitting Loughborough Park and Somerleyton Road, even making use of Barrington Road. I believe it was after that they reverted to diverting it via the Town Hall but omitted Railton Road as a result, using Dulwich Road as per 196, but the one I needed at the time stopping at 3's stop at Brixton Station. Didn't make an effort and waited for a 2 instead as I was at the stop anyway. I do prefer the use of Saltoun Road if not Kellett Road , and vaguely remember the last time that happened.

They're surely only using Coldharbour Lane towards Clapham as you definitely can't turn right from Gresham Road into Coldharbour Lane heading towards Railton Road?

From Gresham Road it was left Brixton Station Road, right Barrington Road then right onto Coldharbour Lane, from my previous experience, my bad for not clarifying that.

No, it's fine and thanks again for clarifying it

Bickley Road (A222) is closed by a burst water main between Page Heath Lane and Chislehurst Road. The 162 is diverted via Holmesdale Road and Masons Hill however the 269 cannot go that way because of the low bridge and is diverted between Chislehurst and Bromley via Mottingham and Grove Park. The upshot is there is no bus service along Widmore Road and between Bickley and Chislehurst there is only the x15/20 minute 162 with 8.9m buses that currently have a capacity of just 11.

Over the bank holiday weekend the D8 has been on diversion as the western part of marsh wall is closed. While going towards crossharbour It’s following the 135 down Westferry road, spindrift avenue and then taking the very tight left turn back onto east ferry road till crossharbour. Never thought a DD could do that left turn - one has to be careful even in a car and I have seen a few videos on the local FB group of drivers going the wrong way on the traffic island

Route 474 is on diversion from Canning Town to London City Airport Via Keir Hardie , Victoria Dock road due to a RTA on Silvertown Way. We are getting a sneak preview of how the service would run in the future
On the subject of the 474 I have noticed buses on diversion signs in New Barn street which is way off route! Guessing it might be a night time closure somewhere coming up.

The 146 is being curtailed yet again at Keston Church due to yet another burst water main on New Road Hill.
I'm sorry but the constant road closures in Downe to sort this out is beyond a joke now. This has been an ongoing issue since May and it seems to me that Thames Water can't get their sh*t together when sorting out these issues, which then leads to Downe Village being cut off from the bus network entirely at times (particularly when the R8 does not run on a Sunday). Not to mention it will probably get worse with Autumn and Winter fast approaching

Not to mention it will probably get worse with Autumn and Winter fast approaching It needs to be sorted out before next Monday as the R8 is due to use New Road Hill as part of its diversion route during the closure of Jail Lane. " From 09:30 Monday 14 September to 15:00 Monday 05 October route R8 is on diversion due to roadworks at Jail Lane. Buses will miss the Hail and Ride section on Jail Lane, Single Street and Luxted Road. Use the stops Biggin Hill/Black Horse or Downe Church. Buses are diverted via Main Road, Leaves Green Road, Downe Road, New Road Hill, Rookery Road and Downe High Street."

There must be some roadworks at Hampstead Station as the 46 and N5 are currently on separate diversions:
The 46 is on diversion between College Crescent and Royal Free Hospital via Belsize Village and Haverstock Hill (268 routing). Towards Bart’s Hospital not sure about towards Lancaster Gate
The N5 is diverted (bothways?) towards Edgware from Chalk Farm via Adelaide Road, Swiss Cottage Station, College Crescent, Lydnhurst Road to Hampstead Station.
It is definitely on diversion bothways but I think its different towards Trafalgar Square but it is definitely diverted via Swiss Cottage towards TSQ

St Mildred’s Road closed at around 3:30pm this afternoon. 160 & 202 on diversion via Baring Road, Downham Way, Northover, Verdant Lane.
Anything in Grove Park will be heavily delayed.
Norwood will have fun with the 202 on Saturday with these heavy delays if it isn’t reopened.

I would advise to avoid the A205 fully.
124 126 136 160 181 202 261 273 284 are loosing a lot of time because of diverted traffic.
Baring Road & Downham Way are a slow moving Car Park.
Other surrounding roads are also affected Chinbrook Road is severe delays
Burnt Ash Road
Westhorne Avenue delays as far as Eltham Hill & Kidbrooke Park Road as well as the A2 & A20
The 660 still hasn’t departed Catford Garage!! Should have left at 0739 and the 624 hasn’t departed Grove Park Station and should have left at 0723!
