It is anticipated the road closure will be in place between approximately 0800 and 1130 on Sunday 6 April 2014, during which period buses will not be able to serve their normal southbound stops at Wheatsheaf Bus Bay or along Dundas Street.

During the works period, southbound Services 3, 4, 13, 16 and E2 will be diverted from Southwick Road via Roker Avenue, Church Street North and Dame Dorothy Street, observing all bus stops along the line of the diversionary route.

During the works period, southbound Services 23, E1 and E6 will be diverted from Roker Avenue to operate via Church Street North and Dame Dorothy Street, again observing all bus stops along the line of the diversionary route.

Northbound services from Sunderland City Centre should be unaffected by these works.

Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate these services in accordance with their published timetables, as well as continuing to liaise with our colleagues at Sunderland City Council to mitigate any problems, due to the additional mileage which is required by this diversion, there is the potential that bus services in the area may be subject to delays and disruption.

Stagecoach would like to apologise for any inconvenience these necessary highways works by Sunderland City Council may cause, and we remain grateful for customers’ patience and understanding.
