Congestion appears to be building again on Sharoe Green Lane, RPH/Black Bull Lights area of #Fulwood, #Preston. Delays likely on services 23, 88A/88C, 19A.

Apologies for delays on service 23 this afternoon. At one point we had six buses stuck between Asda and Black Bull lights due to heavy traffic congestion in RPH area. Service should be getting back to normal now, but unfortunately more delays may be experienced during rush hour travel.

**RPH ROADWORKS PREVENT SITE ACCESS FOR BUSES**

Works are being carried out to improve footpaths and roads inside the Royal Preston Hospital grounds. Consequently, the two bus stops inside the hospital will be closed and there will be NO BUS ACCESS to the site on the following dates:

Monday 3rd March - Wednesday 5th March 2014
Saturday 15th - Sunday 16th March 2014.

88C and the early morning 19 will now stop outside Booths on Sharoe Green Lane rather than in the hospital. 19A will terminate at the turning circle on Sharoe Green Lane, opposite St Clare's.

Ingol service 44 back to normal route in Preston today. Current service disruptions are listed on our website: http://www.prestonbus.co.uk/serviceDisruptions.html …

All roads are now open again and services back to normal - there may be the occasional short delay still as we catch up with our schedules.

On behalf of Preston Bus staff, many thanks for your patience and understanding today Preston. You should all feel proud of the dignity and respect you showed.

Until further notice a diversion is in operation again at terminus of service 44 Ingol, Preston. Due to roadworks the 44 will not be serving Barry Avenue or Creswell Avenue.
