Very refreshing. I still can't help but think the blue front curve should continue on top of the navy skirt. That skirt ends too abruptly and looks totally out of place. The seats have been re-padded though, and are slightly more comfortable than before.

Should be out in service from Walkergate tomorrow after its transfer to the North East from Stockport last week.

Temporary closure of the Fawcett Street/ Holmeside junction, affecting all services.
On Sunday 24 March 2013, the busy road junction at Fawcett Street/ Borough Road/ Holmeside will have to be temporarily closed to allow for remedial carriageway works and the removal of the traffic islands.

Last Updated : 6 March 2013 16:33

These works are part of the "Better Bus Areas" scheme, which will ultimately enable Borough Road to become a 2-way road for buses.

In addition to the Fawcett Street junction closure, Sunderland City Council will also be closing John Street at the same time so as to allow for remedial works to be undertaken on a failed speed table, close to St.Thomas’ Street. These works are being "piggy-backed" onto the Fawcett Street junction closure so as to remove a further closure in the coming months.

As a consequence of these dual road works, on Sunday 24 March 2013 only, buses will be unable to serve ANY of their normal bus stops along Fawcett Street, John Street, Holmeside, Vine Place, Green Terrace or Athenaeum Street. All buses will instead observe the bus stops outside and opposite the Londonderry Hotel, and buses will be diverted around the top of the city centre area (via High Street West and St.Marys Way).
