(21 Nov 2016, 9:36 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote Nothing been said on twitter etc about the 18, But I believe its doing the annual Great North Run routing, running a circular around Simonside, Down Winskell Road and back onto Green Lane to continue back to Shields.
Nothing but chaos around the estate tonight, No buses could serve the estate earlier due to a accident at the John Reid Road junction and now the other end is cut off due to this flood.
18 should revert to its normal routing around the estate from start of service tomorrow morning, As it doesn't serve the Lindisfarne exit, 88/88A however will remain severly affected if the flooding continues.
Thanks for the extra info as i don't know the area
