Diversions News
Date: 03 Dec 2014
To enable contractors working on behalf of the Highways Agency to carry out essential highway works, an emergency road closure is required from 6th December until the 7th December 2014.
This will run in conjunction with the existing temporary closure, resulting in the bridge being closed fully from Friday 5th December at 8pm until Monday 8th December at 6am.
Consequently, Service 50 will be diverted between Glover Road and West Boldon via Spire Road, A1231, A19 and A184 Newcastle Road in both directions, whilst Service 56 between Glover Road and Washington Road will divert via Spire Road, A1231 and Ferryboat Lane, in each direction.
Neither service will be able to serve Nissan main bus stops.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this closure, which is outside of our control.

(05 Dec 2014, 7:47 pm)Greg in Weardale Well it's taking a bloody long time to finish it. As I've said before they should have left all unbranded buses as "Northern". Most other Go Ahead companies have kept their traditional names which have much more appeal and the majority of passengers here still refer to it as "Northern"; otherwise they use the brand name.

Just spotted on the GNE site, they need to change the info for the lime, as for the 8 it still has:
lime service 8 runs from Chester-le-Street to Sunderland via Rickleton, Harraton, Washington Galleries, Waterview Park and Sunderland Royal Hospital. Buses run every 30 minutes during Monday to Saturday daytimes.

(05 Dec 2014, 10:04 pm)aureolin I wish they still terminated the 21 there. It'd certainly resolve some of the reliability issues, without the faffing on with Percy Street.
