Default Pointless missive from TfL regarding buses and roadworks

I've just received a mail from TfL entitled "Changes to bus route 135"
which, as an occasional user of that service, was of some interest to me.

I wondered as it downloaded (I think quickly) what it was going to be -
a route extension (to Barbican please!), a curtailment, later running?
But no, to quote:

"
I am writing to let you know that until spring 2016, we will be building
Cycle Superhighway 1 from White Hart Lane stadium to Liverpool Street
station, as part of the Road Modernisation Plan.

The second phase of work will take place at the junction of Old Street
and Great Eastern Street from Monday 3 August.

Public transport

Access to Tube and Rail stations will not be affected by these works,
but entrances may change at times. Buses passing through the area may be
subject to delays, diverted or stop short of their normal destination;
this includes route 135.
"

To paraphrase, all this says is "roadworks happening, roads busy, we may
screw with buses (which we often do anyway)".

What about other buses though - for example the 205 (which I also take)
on long term diversion on pretty much the same route through the area?
