BUSES serving a hospital are on diversion for 12 weeks.

The buses, which go to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich, have been diverted due to roadworks on Stadium Road and Baker Road over the next three months.

Routes 244, 291 and 469 are being diverted via Academy Road when necessary.

But buses 161, 178, 386 and 486 will not serve the hospital during this period.

The work is scheduled to be completed next January.

Transport for London regional operations manager Tony Akers said: “We have made every effort to ensure that buses continue to serve the hospital where possible, to minimise disruption to passengers.

"The works are necessary and will bring benefits for passengers, making Stadium Road and Baker Road more suitable for bus use.”
