Stagecoach North East: Upcoming Service Changes
Another set of roadwork changes at the Northern Gateway:
Northern Gateway works on North Bridge St - southbound bus lane closure from Monday 11 March 2019
07 Mar 2019 to 18 Mar 2019
We have been informed by Sunderland City Council that from Monday 11 March 2019, the southbound bus lane (Wheatsheaf to Dame Dorothy Street) will once again be closed whilst new road markings are installed. All services will be diverted via Roker Avenue, Church Street North and Dame Dorothy Street before re-joining their regular route on the Wearmouth Bridge. This diversion will be in place until the work is completed (between 3 And 5 days).
As the main southbound Wheatsheaf stop will be suspended, passengers looking to travel towards/via Sunderland City Centre on services 3, 4, 12, 13, 16 or E2 should use the stops on Roker Avenue (outside the Salvation Army) for their journey.
Passengers travelling on service 23 or 18 towards/via Sunderland should use the stop on Church Street North (opposite Lower Dundas Street) during the closure.
Passengers on service E1 or E6 towards Sunderland should use the stops on either Roker Avenue (outside Henderson’s Butchers – E1) or on Fulwell Road (outside Lidl- E6) as both services will operate non-stop to Sunderland John Street from these points.
Services leaving Sunderland City Centre will operate via their normal routes.
Stagecoach would like to apologise to passengers for any inconvenience these works may cause and thank customers for their patience and understanding.
