Due to the closure of Dartmouth Road, Forest Hill northbound the following routes are on diversion.
Route 176 towards Tottenham Court Road and Route 197 towards Peckham are diverted from Kirkdale, then Sydenham Hill to line of route.
However Route 122 has been given the most ridiculous diversion route towards Plumstead.
Kirkdale, Sydenham Hill, Lordship Lane northbound, Friern Road, Etherow Street, Barry Road, Lordship Lane southbound, London Road to line of route.
The usual diversion for the 122 is Kirkdale, Sydenham Hill, Sydenham Rise, London Road to line of route.

468 and N68 diverted via South Norwood Hill, Selhurst Road and Park Road To make matters worse, there are roadworks on Whitehorse Road, not long after it comes off of diversion— not a good past few weeks for 468 recently |

Not sure if its been cleared up but buses were on diversion in Sidcup due to an incident involving a R11 at the junction where the old police station was - everything to & from Queen Marys Hospital was diverted via Foots Cray & the A20

In practice it was very slow going as it’s so narrow! |

Thanks for the correction - it was horrendous trying to get through yesterday particularly between the station and the high street - it wasn't much better coming from Foots Cray either. My SL3 driver did very well, he even let a passenger off on the first stop after the diversion, presumably they were after Queen Marys Hospital. |

Yeah, it wasn’t brilliant - I ended up with two Bexleyheath Stations instead of doing two Thamesmeads and there were plenty of other turns. At one point I saw four consecutive 269s all heading towards Bromley but showing Chislehurst War Memorial! I didn’t really have the issue of people wanting to get on or off because circumstances meant I was running with another bus and I hardly picked anyone up! Our controller did, however, allow us to turn right off the A20 and circumnavigate around the hospital in order to serve it if any passengers required the hospital, which I thought was a nice touch |

While the Dalston closure was particularly bad with almost 100 buses on Royal Oak Road westbound yesterday, it was not anywhere near as bad today as of 1pm with no tailgating other than Balls Pond Road.
The diversionary route is also different in each direction which makes it more confusing, Im guessing because of the one way layout at Stoke Newington? The westbound diversion to Shoreditch seems a lot longer than the eastbound via Mildmay to Stoke Newington.
The 488 is also diverted via Ridley Road Hackney Downs and Cricketfield so is the only route diverted the same in both directions
Would it not have been more sensible to curtail the 67 to Stoke Newington and 488 to Clapton Pond??

A planned closure on the stretch of Manchester Road outside George Green's School for Thames Water works is due to start on Mon (3 Jun) and will last till at least 31 Jan 2025 as TfL suggests (and Thames Water even says Feb 2025). That would mean a long term diversion of the 135, D7 and N550 away from the whole stretch of Manchester Road onto East Ferry Road and Marsh Wall, with the whole of Island Gardens and Cubitt Town free of any bus services for at least 8 months! This has come at very short notice as well which is really a bizarre for local residents.
What makes it worse is that, there was a closure at Manchester Road near Stewart Street last evening, while there's also a stabbing late last night near East Ferry Road where police has cordoned off for investigation since then (Stagecoach 11349 is also trapped there as it just passed the crime scene on the N277). That means the local residents are even getting a surprise of the bus services being stopped 3 days in advance! The 135, D7 and N550 are also unable to serve any stops in south Isle of Dogs given they're diverted down the full length of Marsh Wall.

Not bus related but there was some type of serious incident at the petrol garage on Bazely street with it all sealed off this morning with forensics on scene and various footpaths closed. |

Indeed it's eventful. Not to mention the "usual" disruption in the area brought by the closure of Blackwall Tunnel this weekend. I initially got on a 135 to Central London at around noon today, but decided to get off at Lowell Street and walked back to Westferry Station to get a DLR instead, when I could see the two previous 135s right in front of mine (and the fourth one right behind) between the stretch of Commercial Road between Limehouse Police Station and Limehouse Station! |
