Advance notice of temporary diversions for bus routes 403 and 412 in the South Croydon area for the next two Sundays, and for route 412 in the Sanderstead/ Riddlesdown/ Purley area between Monday 24 and Wednesday 26 August.

403 and 412 – Sunday 2 August, and again on Sunday 9 August, 08:00 to 16:30
Contractors will be working at Selsdon Road up to the junction with Sussex Road on utility connections to nearby properties. To facilitate this work Selsdon Road will be closed to all traffic and buses will take the following diverted routes:

Route 403 towards Warlingham: from Park Lane, left Coombe Road, right South Park Hill Road, left Croham Road, ahead Croham Valley Road, bear right Farley Road, right Addington Road, left at roundabout – first exit Limpsfield Road to normal line of route

Route 403 towards West Croydon: from Limpsfield Road, right at roundabout – third exit Addington Road, left Farley Road, bear left Croham Valley Road, ahead Croham Road, right South Park Hill Road, left Coombe Lane, right Park Lane to normal line of route

Route 412 towards Purley: from Croydon High Street, left Coombe Road, right South Park Hill Road, left Croham Road, ahead Croham Valley Road, bear right Farley Road, ahead Old Farleigh Road to normal line of route

Route 412 towards West Croydon: from Addington Road at Selsdon crossroads, left Farley Road bear left Croham Valley Road, ahead Croham Road, right South Park Hill Road, left Coombe Lane, right Park Lane to normal line of route

We appreciate these diversion routes are lengthy. Unfortunately we are not able to provide single deck vehicles to cover more of the route on these Sundays. To reduce disruption, multiple contractors are working collaboratively to complete as much work as possible while the road is closed. This will reduce the need for further road closures. They will also work over two Sundays so we can maintain bus services for part of the weekend.

412 – Monday 24 to Wednesday 26 August at night  20:00 to 05:00
The London Borough of Croydon is resurfacing the road at Mitchley Avenue between the hours of 20:00 and 05:00. To facilitate this work Mitchley Avenue will be closed to all traffic and bus route 412 will be diverted as follows:

Route 412 towards West Croydon: from Godstone Road at Downs Court Road, ahead Godstone Road, left at roundabout second exit Hillbury Road, right Westhall Road, ahead Hillbury Road, left The Green, left Limpsfield Road, left at roundabout (first exit) Mitchley Hill, right Rectory Park to normal line of route

Route 412 toward Purley: from Rectory Park left Mitchley Hill, right at roundabout second exit Limpsfield Road, right The Green, left Hillbury Road, ahead Westhall Road, left Hillbury Road, right at roundabout (third exit) Godstone Road to normal line of route

Look ahead
In addition to the above, we are planning to restart resurfacing work at Purley Cross, previously brought to a safe-stop in March as a response to the pandemic.

Work will restart from Sunday 23 August at night and will be coordinated with the resurfacing work at Mitchley Avenue.  We will write separately to residents, businesses and stakeholders in the Purley area with further information about this work in due course.
