Due to introduction of temporary 3-way traffic signals on Stockton Road in Sunderland City Centre to facilitate emergency gas works, eastbound bus services are having to be temporarily diverted.
Last Updated : 18 February 2014 11:47
These diversions are as follows:
Service X1 from Doxford International towards city centre to divert from Priestman roundabout via Tunstall Road, Belvedere Road, Park Road, Burdon Road, Fawcett Street then normal route.
Service 3 from Farringdon towards city centre to divert from Priestman roundabout via Tunstall Road, Belvedere Road, Park Road, Burdon Road, Fawcett Street then normal route
Service 4 from Doxford Park towards city centre to divert from Priestman roundabout via Tunstall Road, Belvedere Road, Park Road, Burdon Road, Fawcett Street then normal route
Service 5/5A from Doxford Park towards city centre to divert from Chester Road via St.Michaels Way, High Street West, St. Marys Way, Bedford Street, John Street, Borough Road, Fawcett Street then normal route.
Service 8 from South Hylton towards city centre to divert from Silksworth Row via St.Michaels Way, High Street West, St. Marys Way, Bedford Street, John Street, Borough Road, Fawcett Street then normal route.
Service 10/11 from Pennywell towards city centre to divert from St.Michaels Way via Tunstall Road, Belvedere Road, Park Road, Burdon Road, Borough Road then normal route.
Service 12 from Silksworth towards city centre to divert from Priestman roundabout via Tunstall Road, Belvedere Road, Park Road, Burdon Road, Fawcett Street then normal route
Service 13 from Doxford Park towards city centre to divert from Priestman roundabout via Tunstall Road, Belvedere Road, Park Road, Burdon Road, Fawcett Street then normal route
Service 16 from Hastings Hill towards city centre to divert from Chester Road via St.Michaels Way, High Street West, St. Marys Way, Bedford Street, John Street, Borough Road, Fawcett Street then normal route.
Service 20 from Pennywell towards city centre to divert from Silksworth Row via St.Michaels Way, High Street West, St. Marys Way, Bedford Street, John Street, Borough Road, Fawcett Street then normal route.
Service 23 from Thorney Close towards city centre to divert from Thornholme Road via Belvedere Road, Park Road, Burdon Road, Fawcett Street then normal route
Westbound journeys on these services are unaffected.
As a consequence of these diversions, Service 23 will be unable to observe its northbound stop on Tunstall Road, and no services will be able to observe the bus stop on the diversionary route along Stockton Road. Customers are advised to use the next/previous bus stops.
Whilst it is anticipated these works will be in place for around 3 weeks, buses will revert to normal routes once these temporary works have been completed.
Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate all services through this area in accordance with their published timetables, as well as continuing to liaise with our colleagues at Sunderland City Council to mitigate any problems, there is nonetheless the potential that some trips may be subject to localised delays.
Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience these works by Sunderland City Council may cause, and we remain grateful for customers’ patience and understanding.
As i found out today while on the 23 which completely missed out the Stockton road bus stop.
