Black Road will be closed between Hedgeley Road and Auckland Road from Monday 27th July to allow for essential maintenance and strengthening works on Black Road Metro bridge.
During these works, Service 88 will be unable to serve Albert Road, Victoria Road East or Black Road and will instead operate between Jarrow Bus Station and Auckland Road via the route of Service 88A, i.e Ellison Street, Western Road, Blackett Street and High Lane in each direction.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these works which are outside of our control.
Maybe the 88 can use double deckers as the 88A route has no low bridge.
