Bus stop F at Mortlake Station, on Upper Richmond Road West, is closed from 29 October until 15 November. Contractors working for UK Power Networks are carrying out works at the junction with Sheen Lane. Passengers are being directed to the next or previous stop.
Temporary signals are controlling traffic at the five-way Milestone Green junction. Transport for London's traffic alert on 29 October first rated the works as moderate, with slow traffic both ways, then minimal an hour later, with traffic flowing well. Check which stop your bus now uses before you leave, and allow extra time at the junction in the rush hour. Two and a half weeks is a long time to lose a station stop, and the first test will be the weekday peaks.
