Romford Road, Pembury – 24th March 2020 for 4 days
Romford Road will be closed outside Priory Farm. The alternative route is Romford Road, Henwood Green Road, Woodside Road and vice versa. The closure is required for the safety of the public and workforce while works are undertaken by Southern Water.
Some of the white lines are being renewed in the car park in Lower Green Recreation Ground resulting in a large part of the car park being cordoned off. There will only be limited parking during the morning on this day. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
The Go-coach 283 service and the NuVenture 282 service will be diverted as a result. The diversion for both services are:
Towards Ravenswood Avenue:
From Camden Road, Turning Right onto Garden Road/Lansdowne Road, Left onto St James’ Road, Right onto Albion Road, then normal line of route.
Towards Sainsbury’s Tunbridge Wells:
From Albion Road, Turning Left onto St James’ Road, Right onto Lansdowne Road/Garden Road, Left onto Camden Road, then normal line of route.
The services that will definitely be disrupted are 7 and 402 feeding into Tunbridge Wells as all traffic will be diverted through Hildenborough and Tonbridge. However, due to the interworking of services, any delay has potential to impact all services in our network.
There is possibility that if the disruption through Tonbridge becomes too great we may curtail certain services before they reach Tonbridge to keep network moving, but that will be done on a day by day basis. We intend to have a mobile Duty Manager in Tonbridge all week to make this decision and these will be communicated where necessary.
Please keep up to date on social media or the Arriva app for information about your journey.
With the total closure of the A21 Tonbridge Bypass all roads around Tonbridge are expected to be extremely busy.
To minimise delays the following alterations will apply:
We will be working hard to keep services running, but even with these alterations please be aware that it is likely that services may run late. Please ring the office for advice on the running of your bus (01892 833830).
No directly affected services, but expect delays, especially Northbound traffic build up in Southborough.
Our Pembury Hospital service (208/209) is likely to be disrupted along with our route 5. Our contingency plan for this – base a spare driver and vehicle in Tonbridge. Potentially may cut some 209 services from the scheduled timetable which are not as well used and use that driver and vehicle to run the better used services.
TWBC have now published a full list of comments on the recent Draft Local Plan public consultation. Check their website for details.
