Due to roadworks at Terminus (Halton Moor), the service is terminating early: 

Due to a road traffic collision on Anchor Road that has caused two of our inbound buses from Newcastle to Hanley to become stuck, this will cause issues until this has cleared.

*This is a timed road closure: the road will be closed between 21:00hrs and 05:00hrs*

Service 29 will operate normal route as far as The Silver Fox/small Tesco on Fakenham Rd then turn right onto Sandy Lane and left at the roundabout onto Taverham Rd.

Services 28/X29 will divert via Taverham Rd and Sandy Lane in both directions, hence the need for singles.
 

If the tree issue at Woodton hasn't been rectified by Fri night we will have to remain on the main Bungay Rd both ways on Sat

Alexandria Main Street is currently inaccessible to 204, 205 and 206 service which will divert around.

Morley Street / Easby Road - Report of a road traffic collision involving three vehicles - Service 613, 614 diverting bothways until further notice

Various parts of the P+R site are being resurfaced, including the pick up area.

Unfortunately, due to low trees we cannot load elsewhere and exit the site via the car exit either.

Therefore, buses will load/unload at the flag outside the site by the roundabout.
