Yellow notices have finally been put up along the 211 route informing passengers about the reroute to Battersea Power Station from Saturday June 29th. It features a map which I thought is very informative. New timetables for route 211 have been put up as well. Apparently, it should take 33 mins to get from Hammersmith Bus Station to Battersea Power Station, yeah lol good luck with that happening with the amount of traffic hotspots this route goes through even with the reroute. The journey planner had it at about an hour when I ran an early afternoon journey into the gizmo which sounds far more realistic. |

The new timetable displays are so unbelievably inaccurate, as if they’re using the timings from extreme hours to convince people that buses are actually that quick of an option throughout the day It just shows how bad traffic conditions has got in just a few years. In Kingston bus station it says 31 minutes from Fairfield Bus Station to Wimbledon Station on the 131, back when it was ran by RATP and the early GAL days it even managed that in the peaks without too much of an issue. No hope of that in 2024, in low off peak times possibly. The 131 is fairly lucky in that it doesn’t have too many traffic hotspots between Kingston and Wimbledon, unless there’s roadworks. Wimbledon to Tooting Bdwy is a another story though, Colliers Wood is a nightmare |

From LOTs online regarding the changes on June 29th - "Next weekend (Sat 29th June), the 77 gets re-routed at Waterloo and routes 211 and 465 transfer from RATP Dev to Transport UK. The 211 will use existing Transport UK New Routemasters, with RATP's examples moving to Hounslow (AV) for the H98. The 211 is also being re-routed from Sloane Square to head to Battersea Power Station instead of Waterloo, while the 465 will use existing fleet E200s."

Still showing Waterloo for me. Check the map view which is next to the arrows, its just a zig-zag line towards waterloo The end for the 211 on the map is still showing Waterloo, the zigzag line is irrelevant until it shows Battersea Power Station as the final destination. |

If you change the departure date to 29 June, it will list the new timetable to and from Battersea Power Station. |

Right now is it still showing Waterloo until that date. |

Interestingly, no tile has been placed in Battersea Park Station (P). I wonder whether they are waiting for the pole to move to the stop. It is currently at the beginning of 436's stand. |

It is currently at the beginning of 436's stand. First day of 211 to the Power Station. It seems that 211 does not stop on Prince of Wales Drive. I saw it today before stop P, and iBus displayed Sopwith Way shish is the next stop. The stand is on Pump House Lane and not at the 156/344 turn. |

Yes, route 211 passes through Prince of Wales Drive in both directions. |
