I can see where GNE are coming from though, they want to have 2 stops to make it easier for passengers but it doesn't help with congestion.

It has nothing to do with making it easier for passengers, its all about trying to get stagecoach passengers on go north east buses. Go north east has made some of these bus stops dangerous to use now. I will emmm predict a few changes and additions to Stagecoach services in the near future. |

The Seaburn Road Closures have been rescheduled and are now taking place a week later, meaning that most of the disruption will be on the first week back at work/school/college etc after the Easter Holidays. This is likely to cause more inconvenience than the previous schedule...

Businesses and local residents are beginning to complain about the Seaburn Roadworks, due to apparently suffering losses of thousands of pounds.
One thing that am struggling to understand is why have they put the new streetlights up and connected them to the mains without disconnecting and removing the old ones? The only one which was removed was on the Morrisions roundabout, and they haven't done a very good job due to it being chopped off at the base instead of being fully removed - presumably leaving live wires exposed. It must be very bright down Seaburn now! In addition, Sunderland Council need to be told that LEDs are energy efficient - but not when they are burning 24/7! Moreover, lots of the pavements and traffic islands are still a mess, and there are barriers and fencing all over the place - some of which fell into the road, presumably narrowly missing oncoming traffic. I don't think all this will be completed by the end of May... The SunderlandNow Facebook Page has more information. |

You look at those pictures and wonder why not one workman is doing any work...if they did some work then they would be done!

Its happening, Sunderland’s £100m bridge will cross Wear within three years – and it’ll be taller than Big Ben.

(26 May 2015, 10:46 am)Michael wrote Plans to revamp Sunderland’s High Street West - have your say So I take it from the above link, that bridge street will be going two way traffic, so the buses will go up Fawcett street onto bridge street then roundabout then wearmouth bridge, this has been been in the pipeline for quite while now, as originally there were going to take the roundabout out and have it all as traffic lights, probably this is why traffic coming from st marys stays longer at the traffic lights on the roundabout so it can accommodate the extra green light from bridge street?. |

It looks like it, should be easier for buses to get out of the city centre, although it looks like the roundabout will stay where it is. I hope it goes ahead, the whole area needs to be done up.
