From first bus on Monday 16th October, two new bus stops opposite Poundstretcher will open.
Information from Arriva regarding the closure:
Service 1 towards Blyth (services from Widdrington/Cresswell/Wansbeck Hospital) will now depart from Woodhorn Road, outside of Sports Direct (current 35 to Morpeth stand)
Service 1 towards Blyth (services that start from Ashington) will now depart from Stand G (current 35 to Woodhorn stand).
Service 1 to Wansbeck Hospital/Cresswell/Widdrington will now depart from Woodhorn Road, outside of Select Conveniences.
All other services will depart from the new bus stops outside Poundstretcher, on both sides of the road.
Wednesday the 18th is the new provisional date for the closure of the bus station.
