It says stop B which is outside the station, is it going to do a loop around? Surely that would confused passengers. I assumed i t was going to stop as it turns on St Clements Avenue. Haven't noticed any signs or notices up at bus stops yet either.

The 497 will serve stop B in both directions so will loop around as you mentioned and will then commence hail & ride when it turns onto St Clements Avenue as it does now

The 346 tile has been added along some parts of the route. This is near my house. There were no 346 tiles at Tesco Gallows Corner or along Harold Hill when I drove past. Looking forward to having a regular route towards Upminster.

I'll have to take a wander down to Harold Wood Station to see if there are any notices.

Not only will buses have to get close to the kerb but then not pull too far forward that they won't be able to make the turn out of the bus stop. It also doesn't help that there is a sign post (buses only) close to the kerb and a slightly high kerb. I've driven the 256 and sometimes the buses ground out. I haven't driven it in a while now so maybe it was just a small pothole and might have been repaired.

I can also see some drivers not bothering and just turning straight onto St Clements Avenue. I reckon over the next few years they'll update the road layout outside Harold Wood Station. Not sure how and it'll have to incorporate the 496 terminus too.
