Temporary Ealing bus service changes for the 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games

I have just heard from Caroline Pidgeon, Chair of Greater London Assembly's Transport Committee, that a number of bus routes are to be either diverted, have an altered frequency, capacity or be curtailed, during the Olympics and Paralympic Games.

At present, changes are proposed to Routes 7/N7 and 92 which serve the Borough of Ealing. And some bus stops will be relocated.

Routes 7 and N7 – Russell Square to East Acton (7) / Northolt (N7):
Due to the part-closure of Russell Square, will be curtailed at a temporary terminus on Bedford Place.
From Montague St, buses will run directly into Russell Square and then Bedford Place. Required while Russell Square is a media hub.

Route 92 – Ealing Hospital to St Raphael’s North:
The route will be diverted due to the closure of Engineers Way: Eastbound via Empire Way, Wembley Park Drive and Fulton Road Westbound via Fulton Road and Empire Way. Required while Wembley is a venue.
