Temporary (southbound) closure of Ryhope Road at Grangetown, affecting Services 10 and 11 Service Update
On Sunday 2 February 2014, Ryhope Road will be closed to all southbound traffic just to the south of the Queen Alexandra Road roundabout. This emergency closure by Northern Gas Networks is required due to a failing underground gas apparatus.

These works are scheduled to be in place during Sunday 2 February 2014 only. The closure will commence at 0800, and it is anticipated the road will reopen by approximately 1700.

Due to the nature of these temporary works, traffic will have to be diverted away from the road closure area, and this will affect the routes and bus stops of Services 10 and 11.

During the closure period, Service 10 buses will terminate on Ryhope Road, close to Global Fitness. Service 11 buses from Grangetown towards Sunderland will commence at this bus stop and operate via Ryhope Road, Spelter Works Road, and Old Commercial Road, rejoining normal route at Corporation Road. As a consequence of this diversion, these buses will be unable to observe their normal stops at the Ocean Road bus bay, or along Commercial Road.

Service 11 trips towards Grangetown, and Service 10 trips from Grangetown will be unaffected by these emergency works.

Clearly, whilst we will be attempting to operate Services 10 and 11 in accordance with their published timetables, there is nonetheless the potential that some trips may be subject to delay.

Stagecoach would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience these works by Northern gas Networks may cause, and we remain grateful for customers’ patience and understanding.
