Services 18, 19 unable to serve Thorney Close during Monday 8 July 2013
During Monday 8 July 2013, the entire length of Tay Road between Grindon Estate and Thorney Close will be subject a temporary road closure, so as to allow for resurfacing works by Sunderland City Council.

Last Updated : 28 June 2013 13:3

These works will be in place during Monday 8 July 2013, between approx 0800 - 1800. In order to create a safe working area, there will be no through traffic access along Tay Road.

During periods of this temporary road closure, Services 18 and 19 will be unable to serve Thorney Close Estate. These buses will divert from Springwell to operate via Grindon Lane and Gleneagles Road, observing all stops along the line of the diversionary route.

As a result of this necessary diversion, Services 18 and 19 will be unable to serve the bus stops along Telford Road, Thorndale Road, Tilbury Road or Tay Road.

Clearly, whilst we will be endeavouring to operate Services 18 and 19 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 delay.

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.
