A BUSY bus station will be closed for refurbishment for nearly three weeks – causing disruption to five bus routes.

Commuters who use Finsbury Park Bus Station, in Station Place, could face a frustrating few weeks, as it closes from 7am on Monday morning until December 10, while the works are carried out.

Bus numbers 19, 106, 153, 236 and the N19 will be affected by the closure, having their routes or stopping arrangements altered.

Transport for London said details of the diversions will be available around the bus station, at nearby bus stops and on its website, and staff will be on hand to advise passengers.
