What's the bets that something is found that prevents a reopening after these 9 days? Interesting that the substantive work has gone backwards about 3 years in the space of 18 months. |

Well maybe becuase of this LU will treat us to a double decker working on the 33, albeit without blinds. Putney will be gridlocked though.

Just been on TFL website, status updates page, entered 15 Feb on the future dates tab and tried 33, 72 etc. Status is Green with words No planned disruptions. Clearly disjointed TfL havent realised the bridge is closed, or prefer not to let the public and its customers know. My guess if 9 days has been planned to coincide with school half term, then there is no excuse for lack of info, as not like an unexpected event where it takes time to change info. |

Late 2018 for proper work? Oh lord, desperate to move out of London altogether now (not just because of this though, it's just the tip of the iceberg)
Thanks snowman for sharing this.

Late 2018 for proper work? Oh lord, desperate to move out of London altogether now (not just because of this though, it's just the tip of the iceberg) Thanks snowman for sharing this. You're telling me!! I went to the hot tropics on holiday and came back to London to be greeted with an asthma attack (combo of cold weather and horrible air pollution). I've been confined to indoors for most of this month!   Take me with you, to cleaner air and maybe a bit of sunshine lool  Okay topic time; not too sure of TfL's plans for the new route 218 but doesn't its propsed routing go via Hammersmith Bridge? In any case, every transport official involved, be it TfL, Hammersmith & Fulham council or elsewhere; knoww the bridge is in need for dire repair and is likely 1 loose screw away from being closed for safety concerns. Hammersmith council does have a history of that happening..... TfL were never planning to use decks on the 72 until that bridge was fixed, that's all the tender award taught me. But for whatever reason, politics got involved and a lot of sitting on hands situations happening from all stakeholders involved; possibly until extra revenue could be found as, I'd safely guess departments wholly underestimated the extent of restoration work required. |

Deckers have worked now and again between Fulwell & Barnes when the bridge is open. Well, they only really did one rounder and VA71 only made it to Richmond back in 2013. SP40089 managed to get to Barnes, but dead ran back. Most DD workings acted as meal relief busses. |

So no 509 this time, we must make do with the 72.
Hopefully the short turning buses will all be running through to Hammersmith Broadway at least.

Observed: 419 - some (at least one ever) buses are running to Hammersmith via diversion 72 - diverts via Chiswick Bridge seem to do well, and the buses do pick up at Chiswick, so the quickest way for me to Hammersmith is via 72, weirdly!  |

I would imagine the 419 trips to Hammersmith are relief journeys |
