(14 Dec 2013, 10:04 pm)Adam wrote There was a serious incident on Old Durham Road (or Sherriff Hill to be more precise) earlier this evening. Rumour has it that someone was stabbed or was ran over, but apparently there was a lot of blood on the road. Between the Travellers Rest and The Three Tuns pub was closed. It may still be now, I don't know.
Consequently though, the 28, 56, 57, X1 and X25 all took lengthy diversions to the top of Windy Nook, where the new(ish) Tesco Express is, followed Windy Nook Road up to the QE and re-joined their routes where the QE ambulance station is. So, if you are wondering why any of these services are about 5-10 minutes late, this is why.
Where is Andy Clifford with his traffic and travel updates when you need him!
