| The stops in George Street will be out of use for up to two weeks. |
The city-centre bus stops in George Street in Lancaster will be out of action from Tuesday, 30th August until Tuesday, 13th September as the long-running programme of works to renew electricity cables in south Lancaster is completed with the closure of Spring Garden Street. Some buses will also be unable to stop in Common Garden Street.
Stagecoach has issued the following statement as to how its services will be affected:
Southbound services towards the University / Garstang / Ridge will be diverted via Thurnham Street and King Street and will be unable to serve the stop on George Street. (They will, however, continue to call at Common Garden Street - LBUG)
Services travelling towards Morecambe will operate direct via King St between the Infirmary and bus station serving the stop at Queen Square. The stops at Common Garden St and George St will not be served
Services 2X (Heysham) and 11 (Marsh) will be diverted via Thurnham St and King St to serve the stop at Queen Square rather than George St.
Service 7 (Vale) will operate to the bus station only and will not serve George St.
Service 18 (East City Circular) towards the Leisure Park will not serve George St or Common Garden St. A temporary stop will be placed on Nelson St. On the return journey it will serve Queen Square rather than George Street.
Service 55 due to depart George St at 15:45 on schooldays will commence from Queen Square.
Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire services 9 (Bowerham) and 89 (Knott End) will also be affected and will be unable to call at George Street.
Although the closure period extends to 13th September, it will be lifted as soon as the work is completed, which might be at an earlier date.
