  • *Update added 02/04/2026* The Knares remains inaccessible during the school holiday due to poor parking. The B2 will remain on diversion during school holidays.

The following journeys will be placed on diversion in both directions via the B1007: 

AM

Basildon -> Laindon - 08:00 | 08:30 | 09:00

Laindon -> Basildon - 14:00 | 14:30 | 15:00 | 15:30 | 16:00 

We are continuing to work with various stakeholders to resolve this issue.
