Bus 382 started today (Saturday). It was supposed to serve Parkside

in South Barnet, and since I happened to be in the area for an unrelated
reason and noticed the 382 plate on a bus stop, I decided to park the

car
and wait to see the new bus. After 2 buses in each direction failed to
materialise, I asked some locals who informed me that the buses couldn't

fit
through Parkside Gardens and had been diverted via Osidge Lane. There

was no
warning on any of the bus stops.


Doesn't surprise me at all. TfL has a plan to alter 224 and 226, but
didn't realise until I told them that this would involve the bus passing
through a 6'6" width restriction.

Their response? The plans are still in place and they're arranging with
the borough to add a bus gate to the restriction. It's quite possible
that the changes will go ahead on time and the bus gate will follow some
months later. Any diversionary route will be at least a mile longer, on
congested roads.
