Major Changes to Services

Details of major changes to services will be posted here. However, there are currently no major changes to service to report.

Temporary Disruption to Services

Durham

The Durham bound bus stop on Stockton Road outside the Durham Uni Science site will be removed altogether for about 2 years from 12 th July.(The Journey Planner has been amended and reflects the removal of the bus stop)
This is because of extensive building works which will take out the footpath.
Despite efforts, no alternative site that is acceptable to the police has been found and passengers are dircted to the stop on Church Street.

From Monday 15th September for approximately 3 months.
Sunderland Road at Gilesgate Moor between Gilesgate and Mill Lane will be closed to allow for main sewerage works to take place.
Services 20, 65, X22 & X23 will be diverted via Dragon Lane and Sherburn Road during these works and will be unable to serve bus stops on Sunderland Road between Sherburn Road Ends and Travellers Rest. The Bus Stops at the north end of Dragon Lane and stops on Sherburn Road at Sherburn Road Ends and Majestic only will be served on diversion by services 20 and 65 in both directions, whilst services X22 & X23 will only observe the bus stop at the north end of Dragon Lane in each direction.
Important note re Go Northern Service 20
Increased traffic congestion, resulting in further delays to the service, may result in Go Northern service 20 being diverted via the A690 from the end of September. In this case a shuttle bus will operate between Gilesgate Moor and Belmont to connect
Service 61 will be diverted via Sherburn Road, and Dragon Lane to and from Moor Crescent
