Details of bus diversions during the gas main replacement.
Phase one: From 2200 Sunday 21 July 2019 for about two weeks:
Elmers End Road traffic will have to turn left towards Beckenham. On Croydon Road towards Beckenham, traffic will have to turn left onto Elmers End Road. Croydon Road towards Croydon or Crystal Palace will be unaffected
Elmers End Interchange at Tesco will be suspended for the duration of the works. The 54 will terminate at Elmers End Green. The 289 will terminate at Tesco roundabout.
Route 54 – Elmers End Green towards Elmers End
Passengers will alight at stop M on Elmers End Green outside the shops.
Route 54 towards Catford
The route to Woolwich will start at stop J at St James’ Avenue.
Route 289 towards Elmers End
A temporary bus stop will be in place just before the Tesco roundabout where passengers will alight.
Route 289 towards Croydon
The details are confusing about the westward bound service but it looks like buses will use Long Lane as a stand and then will turn right onto Croydon Road to start service at the Glade bus stop towards Croydon.
Route 367 towards Beckenham
From Croydon Road at Elmers End Road buses will turn left onto Elmers End Road, ahead on Elmers End Road, turn right onto Beck Lane and follow the same route as the 354 to the High Street joining its normal route at Village Way. Therefore a large area of Eden Park will be without the 367 from Elmers End Green to Village Way.

Elmers End Road traffic will have to turn right towards Croydon. Croydon Road traffic will have to turn left at the left filter, towards Crystal Palace. Croydon Road towards Croydon or Crystal Palace will be unaffected.

As phase one.
