What's On - Update
| Dalston Lane closed |
|
The roadworks and construction chaos currently affecting our little corner of north-east London - 'The Shire', as we Hobbit fans like to think of it - is being compounded by the closure of Dalston Lane until 12 February because of 'emergency utility works'.
As well as having all sorts of irritating consequences for drivers and, to a lesser degree, cyclists, the buses will obviously be affected, as follows. Bus routes 30, 38, 56, 242, 277 and N38 will be diverted via Kingsland High Street, Shacklewell Lane and Amhurst Road. . The nearest bus stop for route 30 is located on Dalston Lane (stop Q). . The nearest bus stop for route 277 is located on Mare Street (stop B). . The nearest bus stop for route 56 is on Pembury Road. . The nearest bus stop for routes 38, 242 and N38 is located on Dalston Lane (stop R). For more information, phone 0843 222 1234 or visit: www.tfl.gov.uk. You can't blame Hackney Council this time.
When will all this deranged interference with our infrastructure end? Probably never, is the answer. It'll all start again very soon.
