Many buses will be on diversion or will stop short of their destination and some may be affected by traffic displaced by road closures; this includes route 65.

There will be extensive road closures on and around the routes; roads will be closed from early morning and will re-open when it is safe to do so. Pedestrian access to properties will not be affected. A number of bridges in London and Surrey will be closed at times over the weekend.

You can see full details of these closures, plus access to surrounding roads and crossing points on the TfL website.
