Buses suspended from driving directly from Bounds Green Station to Muswell Hill

I found out today that from Monday 22nd September there will be no buses running directly from Bounds Green Station to Muswell Hill, due to road works on Colney Hatch Lane. The 299 will not run from Bounds Green and the 102 will be diverted through Alexandra Palace Way to Muswell Hill.  The suspension will last for four weeks, but the closure along Colney Hatch Lane will last for seven weeks. 

I believe you can get further information from the Haringey Council website.

This will mean a great inconvenience to many car drivers, but what about the people who don't have a car for example, if one only wants to go as far as the T junction at Alexandra Park Road and Colney Hatch Lane, it will mean a walk  and there must be many vulnerable people who cannot walk far, how are they going to manage?  Was there no public consultation about this?

Thanks for this info.  How is one supposed to get to the Sunshine Garden Centre.  I am one of the elderly disabled and partially sighted  who cannot walk far and rely on buses.

Hi Vivian...if you need to get up to the Sunshine Garden Centre let me know, I'd be more than happy to give you a lift there (and back!) as I love the place and have a bit of time on my hands. Might need to give it a few days though, I left my blinking car window open the other night in that rain storm and the passenger seat is still drying out!

Thank you so much for the offer.  I was very touched by your kindness.  I did manage to get there last weekend before I got your message.  I suppose if I were desperate for gardening things, I could get the train from Bowes Park to Crewes Hill but I do prefer the Sunshine Garden Centre as the staff are so nice.  Maybe I could email you next week if I need to go to the Garden Centre.  Hopefully the buses will be running as normal the week after. With grateful thanks.  Vivian

Vivian,  I thought that you might like to know that the 184 is still running past The Garden Centre before it turns off into Alexandra Park Road to Wood Green, as I saw it yesterday when I was walking that way, Val

Thanks for the info. Makes me wonder if that can run, why not the others? I can now get a train to AP and pick up the 184 from there. Do you happen to know if it is running to Bounds Green tube area? People are being so helpful. vivian

Vivian, the 184 is running as normally , this is because it is not effected by the road works on Colney Hatch Lana, so as far as I am aware you can travel to and from  Bounds Green to Wood Green with no problems.  The reason that the 102 and 299 cannot go to Muswell Hill is that Colney Hatch Lane is blocked off as the buses turn left towards Muswell Hill and the cars manage because they divert down the side streets.  I hope that this information is helpful for you.  Kind regards Val

Please be aware that from 11th October the timings on route 184 have been amended and the frequency of route 184 temporarily reduced to every 10 minutes, see the attached file

Please note that from circa 27th October bus 299 is now reinstated from Bounds Green to Muswell Hill Broadway. For the expected arrival times at particular bus stops click here

Thank you for this information Donald.  I assume that the 102 is also running straight up to Muswell Hill along Alexandra Park Road also,
