henry hagger replied to henry hagger's forum post 184 bus
"Hi Annabel,
 TFL have sometimes diverted the buses on the previous day, all day, without giving any notice on the bus stops affected.
If they stick to the times you give then that seems appropriate and not a great inconvenience. Fingers crossed.

Annabel Gregory replied to henry hagger's forum post 184 bus
"I haven't heard of that - does sound extreme!
The fireworks are on two evenings, Friday and Saturday, and so the diversions are as follows:
Friday 31 October [9-10.30 pm] and Saturday 1 November [8-9.30pm] to facilitate visitors leaving the event.…"

henry hagger replied to henry hagger's forum post 184 bus
"Yes Annabel, but isn't the bus also diverted BEFORE the events and in some cases way after the crowds have dispersed...like the day after ?"
Oct 29
Annabel Gregory replied to henry hagger's forum post 184 bus
"Hi Henry, it is diverted so as not to get in the way of the huge crowds thronging the road bridge and Buckingham Road for 1.5 hours or so after the event finishes. You might think that it would be useful for it to transport some of the crowds…"
