Temporary closure of Moorside Road (west side), affecting Service 5/5A

On Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 May 2014, the west side of Moorside Road will be closed to facilitate essential roadworks.

The anticipated closure period is between 0800 and 1800 on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 May 2014, weather permitting.

During periods of the road closure, Service 5/5A buses will be unable to serve their normal bus stops around the west side of Moorside Road.

Buses will instead continue along Doxford Park Way, and operate via the east side of Moorside Road to Weymouth Road, observing all bus stops along the line of the diversionary route.

Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate services 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 the potential that some trips may be subject to delays.

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

Services Affected: 5, 5A
