Newgate Street in Newcastle is closed between Clayton Street and Grainger Street due to an incident on a nearby demolition site.
Due to this, the street is closed outside the Wilko store. We are changing our diversion plans for services in the city centre, to try and reduce delays in the area.
Services from Metrocentre towards Eldon Sqaure will operate normal route.
Services from Eldon Square towards Metrocentre will divert via Gallowgate, St James Boulevard and Westgate Road (serving the stop outside of the O2 Academy).
Services from Gateshead towards Eldon Square will divert direct to Eldon Square via Durant Road, John Dobson Street and St Marys Place. The stops at John Dobson Street and Blackett Street are omitted.
Services from Eldon Square towards Gateshead will divert via Blackett Street, Pilgrim Street, then either Market Street/Grainger Street or Mosley Street to St Nicholas/Castle Keep.
Service Q3 will divert via Blackett Street and Pilgrim Street, restarting route on Grey Street. Please board your bus at Haymarket or Grey Street.
There is no service outside Wilko on Newgate Street, though we do have extra staff in the city centre to assist you.
The road will remain closed tonight and into tomorrow.- follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest information.
