Revised bus stops at Wheatsheaf, affecting Services 19, 23, E1, E2 and E6
Working in partnership with the developers of the Sunderland Retail Park site and Sunderland City Council, Nexus have confirmed new bus stops will be installed on Newcastle Road and on Roker Avenue, replacing the temporary northbound bus stop arrangements which have been in place for a few months.

The new bus stops are programmed to be installed during Friday 11 January 2013. Upon the installation of the new bus stops, the following permanent arrangements will apply:

Services 19, 23, E1 and E6 will be relocated to a new bus stop on Roker Avenue, directly outside the Salvation Army.

Service E2 will be relocated to a new bus stop on Newcastle Road, opposite Kwik Fit.

When these new bus stops have been installed, buses will cease to observe the temporary bus stop location outside the "Bridge Street Prestige" car showroom.

Service E2 customers will also benefit from the introduction of a new southbound bus stop on Newcastle Road, close to the new retail park development.

These new bus stop arrangements are designed to improve traffic conditions and ease traffic flow along North Bridge Street, following consultations with Sunderland City Council.
