As part of the bus service changes implemented in April 2019 following completion of (most) of the works to convert Gloucester Place and Baker Street back into two-way streets route 30 was uniquely diverted southbound via the south side of Portman Square to serve this stop in Portman Street. Routes 2/N2, 30 and 74/N74 continued to serve Portman Street and Gloucester Place in the northbound direction only.
Here is Metroline VMH2469 on route 30 turning from Portman Square into Portman Street on 6th May 2019.
Can anyone enlighten me as to the point of this and why the route didn't simply continue down Orchard Street to reach Oxford Street like all the other services?
