From Alexandra Palace:

THIS HAS BEEN REVISED FOR EASTER WEEKEND.
The W3 is running both ways through the park as usual until 6.00 a.m. Tuesday 11th, and traffic can do the same.
Ignore Countdown on the bus stops - this is still saying that the W3 is on diversion.
The bus is now running only in the Finsbury Park direction (westwards), and not at all in the Northumberland Park direction (eastwards) until 20th May. See featured post.
Can anyone find the info. on the TfL website about the W3 bus diversions?! Nothing in advance notice of service disruptions? If you try using Journey Planner, it just advises you to walk or cycle, if you can! With no explanation. No info. on bus stops, that I have seen - at least at the very popular Ally Pally Ice Rink bus stop. It's SUCH an important bus route for this neighbourhood, and others.
On the route page for W3 it has a status update:
"ALEXANDRA PALACE WAY: From 09:30 Monday 27 March to 18:00 Sunday 02 April, route W3 is on diversion from Wood Green Station/Lordship Lane to Priory Park/Middle Lane via The Broadway, Wood Green High Road, Turnpike Lane and Hornsey High Street due to urban realm works. Buses are not serving stops from The Broadway to Nightingale Lane."
Thanks for this. I did look on the route page for the W3 - didn't see this!
Some info. is now available on bus stops.
