Stratford Changes 31/08/13

Posts are getting into some messed up order after the start of school and some other stuff that isn't exactly worth mentioning.

In the morning of 31st August, after the N550 (nearly failed) and N551 (failed) ventures, I went to Stratford International for some newly re-routed buses, and the new N205 was in service. I didn't get it due to me not being bothered to wake up early, so wait until the next proper NBAD I do to cover that, probably in 2014 :(

Anyhow, Routes 97, 309, D8 all changed there, so I first went to Stratford International, albeit deserted!:

97 - diverted via Westfield Avenue and Stratford International Station.
339 - extended to Leytonstone
D8 - extended one stop to Stratford International Station

But the lack of information was kinda disturbing...:

Bus stop apparently shut. Cars park in front of the stop. This was the MOST informative stop. The rest had NO tiles for routes or "towards".

This is how the buses kept to route. With diversion signs, ironically!

Finally, I got on the 97 from Stratford City (as it seems Stratford International isn't "in use"), and no one got off/on new stops:

No sound for these new stops.

The next Stratford City change is the 388 extension thus 588 withdrawal in December. Nice.
