(26 May 2015, 6:16 pm)cbma06 The council has mentioned about sending the traffic straight up onto bridge street and over to wearmouth bridge for sometime now, it was even mentioned before their made the two way traffic outside of the museum to assist stagecoach 10/11 services, so hopefully the buses can get out of Fawcett street and onto wearmouth bridge a lot quicker to provide better punctuality instead of getting stuck at a couple of traffic lights and the traffic coming from the docks area competing for space just to get to the bridge street roundabout.

(26 May 2015, 6:30 pm)Michael Shame the whole area was wreaked when they decided to change it.
I'm hoping once the VAUX site is done and everything has being cleared away, someone will start to build on it, i haven't being down that way in a while, may have a visit later this week.
Current projects:
VAUX site
Hilton hotel at the SOL
New college in the city centre
Seaburn/Roker
New bridge.
All these need to be done before anything is done.... i mean the bridge will take 3 years so include that as a long term project.
College, Hilton hotel should open next year
Seaburn should be done in the next few months
VAUX site - not sure whats planned atm
Other projects
The court and police station is supposed to be the council hands........ no doubt they'll be empty for years.
I think they need to move the civic centre.... maybe move to the VUAX site, means that area can be used as a car park for the college.

Me too Cbma - something needs to be done, the road is terrible if a bus doesn't/can't park up at the bus stop.
Thanks for the info on the police station, i hope it doesn't stop empty for ages.... a hotel would be decent but aren't they building one on the square already?
As for the civic centre, it needs to go, its a horrid site, the area could be used for the college... like a car park or even a few more buildings, like offices etc.
Edit:
Holmeside also needs sorting, the amount of buses using each stop on both sides is ridiculous.............
Here is the stop for the 3,4,13,20,20A, X20 - http://liners.nexus.org.uk/24S26.pdf - Every bus service is every 10 mins (20/20A - every 20 mins but you know what i mean) - the amount of times the 23 bus stop is blocked is ridiculous.
Here is my stop for the 23 - http://liners.nexus.org.uk/24S25.pdf - although not all services are frequent as the buses on the above stop, all still arrive at the bus stop with a frequency of every 10/15 mins (expect for the 38C/X1).
I think the whole area needs changing.

(28 May 2015, 1:11 pm)cbma06 you missed off the E1,E2 and E6 lol
I was only joking about having a hotel on the police station site lol , seems that's sunderland have gone mad about having hotels.
When the economics leave park lane interchange there go right round the back and enter Fawcett street from burdon road so missing out Holmside.
So if Holmside goes only east bound traffic, then everything coming from eastbound (16/10/11/4/ etc.. etc...) will would have to follow right around behind park lane onto burdon road and Fawcett street which would restrict passengers getting off at either the bus stop on Stockton road or burdon road and then Fawcett street, which passengers wouldn't really able to get off at one side of the town at Vine Place.
whos in charge of bus companies stopping at bus stops?, I know that the bus companies have to register the route with VOSA, does the bus companies have to register stopping at bus stops with Nexus and if so can Nexus say no to the bus companies?.

I remember this from 2008 era, but could come back in years to come.
MOTORISTS could be forced to pay controversial congestion charges in huge areas of the region under plans revealed to The Journal.
Tens of thousands of motorists could face a £1 fee to enter an outer charging zone and £2 to enter a city centre under two road pricing schemes based around Newcastle and Sunderland.

Regarding the Chester road/ Broadway roundabout, Sunderland city council actually have a "white line" scheme on the very near horizon. I'm led to believe possibly as early a next month (start of school holidays).
The plan is to increase the number of lanes approaching the roundabout so that there are 2 eastbound and 2 westbound. There'll remain one lane on the exit side. This should reduce queue lengths as twice as many vehicles will be Abel to enter the roundabout at any one time, reducing compounded delays. Although it could be argued that a bus lane would be better for sustainable travel....

The road will be three lanes in the vicinity - two approaching the roundabout, one leading away.
There were plans a few years ago (before the Comprehensive Spending Review), to replace the roundabout with a traffic light controlled signalised junction. But the CSR cancelled those (very expensive) plans, and Sunderland council couldn't afford the scheme themselves.

At the moment the there's only a short 2-lane stacking area. This will be increased, I think back to cortina avenue (?).
