London Adjusts B11, 301 Routes for Road Work

London bus routes B11 and 301 diverted around Brampton Road closure at Abbey Wood

London B11, 301 Routes Rerouted for Road Closure

Two London bus routes are running on modified paths due to a road closure at Abbey Wood, transit officials said. Routes B11 and 301 face diversions around Brampton Road, where a closure initially scheduled for five days has been extended. Officials haven't said when the road will reopen or how long the route changes will remain in effect.

Extended Closure Affects Service

The Brampton Road closure at Abbey Wood was originally planned to last five days, but the work has been extended beyond that timeframe, according to the transit agency. Officials didn't provide details about what caused the extension or a new completion date. Road closures requiring bus diversions typically result from utility work, street repairs, or infrastructure projects. Transit agencies coordinate with local authorities to minimize service disruptions during such closures, though specific coordination details for this closure weren't available.

Route Modifications in Place

Both the B11 and 301 routes are operating with diversions around the closed section of Brampton Road, officials said. The agency didn't specify the exact streets being used for the detours or which stops might be temporarily relocated or skipped. Transit officials said they're working to maintain service to the area despite the road closure. Specific information about how many stops are affected or whether temporary stop locations have been established wasn't provided by the agency.

Duration Remains Unclear

Officials haven't announced when Brampton Road will reopen or when normal bus service will resume on the affected routes. The closure has already exceeded its initial five-day timeline, but a revised completion date wasn't available. Transit agencies typically restore regular routing as soon as road access is restored, though whether riders will receive advance notice of the return to normal service wasn't specified.

Rider Information

Passengers using routes B11 and 301 near Abbey Wood should expect continued diversions until the road closure is resolved. Officials said riders should allow extra travel time and watch for temporary stop locations.
