486 BUS

Can anybody tell me whether the 486 bus runs its normal scheduled route up and down Charlton Church Lane on matchdays, or is it diverted.
I am up from Dorset as usual for the Pompey game, but want to take the 486 to Queen Elizabeth Hospital post match to visit my 94 year old mum

    It is diverted via Woolwich Road & John Wilson St, but normally stops at bus Stop E on Woolwich Road, bus 161 also stops here & also serves the QE Hospital.

    There are delays tg the 486 (and the 161) caused by the roadworks to install cycle lanes along Woolwich Road.

    There are also temporary traffic lights at the junction just before the hospital causing delays to both routes.

    I usually walk through Maryon Wilson Park and up Cemetery Lane to Woolwich Common after games.

    Thanks @Crusty54
    How long does it take you to walk?
    I'm 71 and not particularly fit

    As it's uphill I reckon 30-45 mins to the hospital front doors.

    Think I'll be taking the bus, delays notwithstanding.
    A leisurely stroll in late summer might have appealed but slogging it uphill in the dark and probable wet isn't for me

    It's not all uphill. Around 30 minutes. Less if you're in the AC stand and walk through Charlton Park. Leave via the Sam Bartram gate which eliminates most of the uphill walk.
