Golden Green unable to be served on Monday 16 February

UK Power Networks are working in Three Elm Lane on Monday 16 February which means that the road will be closed.

Buses on route 208 will need to be diverted via Hadlow and Seven Mile Lane and will not be able to serve Tonbridge Road or Three Elm Lane at all. We have not been given any times for this closure so we have to assume it is all day and all buses will need to be diverted for the whole day.

We apologise for the inconvenience this will inevitably cause to residents in the Golden Green area
