Whilst the railway bridge (over Chew Valley Road) on the Micklehurst Loop line was being demolished the road was closed and buses on the 180 were diverted via Well-i-hole and Dacres.  What made this diversion different from all subsequent ones is that buses continued from the Clarence round to Road End where they terminated in the same junction as had been used by North Western as their King William IV terminus for occasional short workings.  7195 is parked at the end of Kinders Lane waiting to return to Manchester.
