Disruption to Services 8, 20, E1, E2 and E6 during Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 July 2013 Service Update
On Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 July 2013, Sunderland City Council will need to temporally close High Street West, close to the Londonderry Hotel. This temporary road closure is to facilitate ongoing utilities works associated with the St.Mary’s Way highways realignment scheme.

During the periods of this road closure, Stagecoach buses have no option but to divert non-stop via Livingstone Road, resuming normal routes at St.Michael’s Way.

As a consequence of the diversion, Services 8, 20, E1, E2 and E6 will be unable to serve their normal bus stops near Londonderry Hotel, or near Sunderland Empire. Customers are therefore advised to use the previous bus stop on St.Mary’s Way, outside Marks and Spencers.

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 requirement for buses to mix with general traffic on 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.
