**FA Cup - Preston North End v Manchester United**

Unless you've been in hibernation so far this year, you'll know there's a very big match on at Deepdale tonight. Kick off is at 19:45, and because there is expected to be a big influx of fans, please be aware that some bus services - especially the 19A - may experience delays both before and after the match, because of volume of traffic, both vehicles and pedestrians! There may also be some disruption in the city centre, as many fans will travel by train.

Our football specials are running as usual, setting off at 19:00. They may have to park in a different location when at the ground however, with directions given by the police. Please check with your driver where to get on the bus again for the return journey.

Apologies for any inconvenience suffered, and thank you for your patience.

Good Luck Preston!

Temporary road closure for re surfacing on service 80 at Great Eccleston. Details on our website:

http://www.prestonbus.co.uk/news/Service80temporaryroadclosureanddiversion_324.html

Service 80, temporary road closure and diversion
www.prestonbus.co.uk
Service 80 will be unable to access Copp Lane in Elswick/Great Eccleston due to re surfacing work. The road closure could be for up to two weeks, but it is more likely to be only a day or two.

Work begins again on Fishergate in the city centre from next Monday. The second phase of the Fishergate Improvement Scheme is expected to last into November 2015, with the third stage - and completion of the scheme - in 2016.

There is a possibility of intermittent delays to services using the city centre, particularly Park & Ride service 1, and the Orbit 88C and 89. Effects may also be felt on services 12/12A, 13/13A, and 75.

Apologies for any inconvenience while the roadworks are in place, and thank you for your patience.
