Disruptions due to Summer Festival Parade on Saturday 5 July 2014
We have been advised that the Summer Festival Opening Parade will be taking place on Saturday 5 July 2014.
Last Updated: 30 June 2014 11:42 AM
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

(14 Jul 2014, 11:12 am)AIG20 I wonder whether some Gas Buses will be used alongside the E400s this year, instead of Slatyford's MAN ALX300s.

Temporary westbound closure of Durham Road, affecting Services 3, 4, 23
On Sunday 10 August 2014, Durham Road will be closed to westbound traffic at the Tudor Grove junction whilst the carriageway is resurfaced.
Last Updated: 22 July 2014 2:03 PM
These roadworks are programmed to be in place during Sunday 10 August 2014 only, between approximately 0800 and 1800.
During the periods of the road closure, Service 3, 4, and 23 buses towards Thorney Close, Farringdon and Doxford Park will be required to divert from Barnes Park non-stop via Silksworth Lane and Premier Road. Buses will thus be unable to serve their westbound stops along Durham Road between Barnes Park and the Prospect junction.
Northbound Service 3, 4 and 23 buses (towards Sunderland City Centre) will be unaffected by these works.
Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience these temporary works authorised by Sunderland City Council may cause, and we remain grateful for customers’ patience and understanding.

(08 Aug 2014, 7:53 pm)Dan I've mentioned it to Go North East; as I said before, the council has not discussed the works with Go North East yet.
Clearly Stagecoach has pestered the council a lot more than Go North East.

In our most recent discussions, we have been able to agree with Sunderland City Council for the bridgehead to remain open, as a “bus only route” during the main daytime period of Sunday 17 August 2014, during which period it will be closed to all other traffic.
Soooo least Stagecoach have tried... GNE will wait till last minute like always and they will claim to of only known from that day..

(08 Aug 2014, 7:55 pm)AIG20 I wonder how much it will effect the PVR/layover time on these services, as they may include shorter breaks for the drivers and more/less buses may be needed.
In addition, if the whole of "North Bridge Street" is closed on the evenings it may make it much harder for the buses to get to and from the depot.
