On this occasion, Borough Road will be closed between Foyle Street and John Street, including its junctions at John Street and Frederick Street/ Toward Road. This is to allow for highways surfacing and road marking works.

During the periods of this road closure, Stagecoach buses will be diverted as follows:

Southbound Services 3, 4, 13, 16 and 23 will be diverted from Wearmouth Bridge to operate via St.Mary’s Way and High Street West. These services will temporarily observe the westbound bus stops outside Marks and Spencer’s and at Londonderry Hotel, and will be unable to observe their normal bus stops on John Street, Holmeside or Green Terrace.

Northbound Services 3, 4, 13, 16 and 23 will be unaffected by this closure on Sunday 7 July.

Westbound Service 5A will be diverted from West Lawrence Street via Sans Street, West Wear Street, St.Mary’s Way and High Street West. This service will temporarily observe the westbound bus stops outside Marks and Spencer’s and at Londonderry Hotel, and will be unable to observe its normal bus stops on Borough Road, Holmeside or Green Terrace.

Eastbound Service 5A will be unaffected by this closure on Sunday 7 July.

Westbound Services 10 and 11 will be diverted from Tatham Street via Borough Road (east side), Sans Street, West Wear Street, St.Mary’s Way and High Street West. These services will temporarily observe the westbound bus stops outside Marks and Spencer’s and at Londonderry Hotel, and will be unable to observe their normal bus stops on Borough Road, Holmeside or Green Terrace.

Eastbound Services 10 and 11 will be unaffected by this closure on Sunday 7 July.

Service 20 will be unaffected by this closure on Sunday 7 July.

Services E1, E2, E6 will be unaffected by this closure on Sunday 7 July.

Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate all 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 increased mileage required to operate via the diversionary route, there is the potential that some trips may be subject to localised delays.

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