I don't think it also took into account the number of buses that terminated early either. Some buses simply didn't bother crawling up Green Lanes.

I think you'll find that there a LOT of people who don't have a zone 3 pass - just look at the bus stops the length of Green Lanes in the morning, and how many people get off at Manor House. If you have a 1-2 pass you can get as far as Manor House, and then the bus is free on top of that. A zone 1-3 pass is just over £20 more expensive for a month than zone 1-2.

Hey, do you know where I can find the stats for bus delays (or lack there of) from the TFL website, I can only seem to find more recent information. I'd be interested to see what the differences actually were.

They aren't on the tfl website. The stats were provided in response to an FOI request submitted by Michael Anderson.

In this thread. I think JoeW might have linked to it. The data said that there was no perceptible increase in bus journey times, but it didn't include information on how many buses terminated early/diverted. It didn't seem to align with people's anecdotal experience. I beat the bus every single day during the road closures on my walk from Manor House to the Salisbury at 5.15.

Cool, I shall have a look for it then. It's interesting that peoples anecdotal experience didn't line up with the actual facts from TFL. I wonder if this is due to people been hyper aware of the bus journey times during this period. Although generally I cycle, at the times I took Green Lanes rather than Wightman I didn't notice a massive difference in traffic (admittedly I'm normally returning from work around the 7-8pm mark).
Out of interest how far are you behind beating the bus as you mention it, and how far ahead of it were you during the closure?

I didn't actually time it, just knew that it didn't catch up with me by the time I'd got to the crossing at the Salisbury! It takes me about 15 minutes to walk it. From times I've caught it I'd say the bus is usually 10 minutes in normal circumstances in rush hour (without factoring in having to wait for one). I never beat the bus in the morning in the opposite direction, the traffic flows better southbound in the mornings.
