It does seem a kick in the teeth seeing as Thames Water recently had temporary traffic lights at the London Road/Devonshire/Dartmouth Road T junction which caused the buses to be severely disrupted, especially the 185 which also had to deal with other roadworks.

So for four days, the 176 and 197 will be diverted away from Forest Hill, the 122 will run up London Road, Sydenham Rise and Kirkdale, leaving the 185 to take the strain of passengers travelling between Dulwich and Forest Hill.
