A diversion along the A194 and A19 was in place and it appears that a seperate shuttle bus service ran as well.

Yeah was havoc for first few hours as obviously no one there was a fault. Nor what the diversions were and pity the poor folk who were stuck on the buses between the crossings with nowhere to go. I was lucky the depot informed me which route the diversion was going and which stop to head for before it was announced on social media sites.
