The B6532 (Wear Road) is going to be closed for 4 days from 15th August while they resurface the road. I imagine the diversion to the V7 will be normal route around East Stanley and then along Avon Road and up Tyne Road like the 16 does. The only sensible way for the 704 to be diverted is by sending it down Tyne Road to Hollyhill Gardens, cutting across onto Durham Road then back along Avon Road and Tyne Road as usual.

Nothing about the 704 though - I will ask about it later (but even then, im not totally motivated as i wont be using the service).
