Bus routes are being diverted as water main works cause disruption.

Several Transport for London (TfL) bus services in Croydon are affected by water main works.

The affected routes include 194, 198, and 367, with diversions and stop closures in place while Thames Water carries out works in the area.

A spokesman for the AA said: "A road has closed due to water main work on Bridle Road Northbound from Shirley Way to Worcester Close.

"There is a detour in operation – for buses 194 and 198."

Route 194 is being diverted in both directions via Wickham Road, missing stops between Monks Orchard Road and Bennetts Way towards West Croydon, and between Hartland Way and Monks Orchard Road towards Bell Green.

Route 198 services towards Spring Park are terminating early at Langland Gardens, while services towards Thornton Heath begin at Wickham Road / Monks Orchard.

Further works are also affecting Primrose Lane, with both directions closed between Poppy Lane and Shirley Road due to a burst water main.

The AA said: "A detour is in operation – for bus route 367."

The 367 runs daily between West Croydon Bus Station and Bromley North Station, passing through Addiscombe, Shirley, Elmers End, and Beckenham.
