Where does one find insignificant bus diversions on the TfL Web Site?

Does anyone know all the places where Transport for London put bus diversion information?

Google are rightly saying the 131 and 57 are on diversion. In the image (since it won't let me copy the text) is details of the diversion and also a link to TfL's Web Site.

Click on that I get to the bus service updates page:
https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/status/

On there is a link for Major Works & events.
https://tfl.gov.uk/status-updates/major-works-and-events

Under August and July it's not listed, so it can't be major.

On that page is a link to see all bus service changes.
https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/buses/bus-service-changes

On this new page is the option of perminant changes or temporary changes.

Its only a temporary diversion so I clicked on that link. It says it is significant service changes.
https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/buses/temporary-bus-changes?intcmp=47900

This brings up a new page and the diversion isn't on it. It does however list more than just what is on the major works page.

So there seems to be major works, significant works, perminant changes and everything else, which I'll call insignificant bus diversions.

So given the earlier link said to see all bus service changes, where do I find the insignificant bus diversions, such as the one Google lists? Is that info only supplied to third parties via web services and not on TfL's Web Site?

I was kind of hoping there would be an insignificant diversions section, so that all bus service changes are covered.

For the ‘insignificant’ stuff as you refer to it (generally these are diversions that just last a few hours or so), you go to an individual bus route's status page:

TfL homepage -> Status updates -> Buses –> Enter a bus stop or route
