To ensure health and safety is maintained, Ocean Road and parts of Sea Road will need to be closed between approximately 1230 – 1430.
During affected times, Service E1 and the Open Top City Sightseeing buses will be required to divert between South Shields Town Centre and New Crown Hotel via Anderson Street, Beach Road, Salisbury Place, Sea Way and Bents Park Road in both directions, observing all stops along the line of the diversionary route.
In addition, all services in the town may also be temporarily delayed by a rolling road closure along Fowler Street, or may be diverted away from the affected area. As a consequence of these road closures, buses are likely to be unable to serve the bus stops at Keppel Street, Fowler Street or Town Hall between approx 1230 - 1330, with all bus services in the town diverting via Station Road.
Although our local authority colleagues will endeavour to ensure that the impact on bus services is as limited as possible, there is still likely to be significant traffic congestion in the town centre area and along Ocean Road.
Due to the various road closures, and the congestion that will be created due to traffic displacement, all bus services may be subject to delay, or may be temporary diverted around the affected areas. Stagecoach apologise for any inconvenience or delays this event may cause, which is due to circumstances beyond our control.
Services Affected: 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 30, E1, E2, E6, X20
