A gas leak in the centre of Brighton will mean hundreds of buses will be unable to stop at one of the town’s busiest stops tomorrow (Wednesday 20 October).
Buses going along Western Road from Hove, Portslade and Southwick will not be stopping in Churchill Square, Brighton, from 9.30am.
Services 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 5, 5A, 5B, 20X, 25, 46, 49, 49A, 81, 81B and 81C will stop at Clarence Square then run non stop to North Street.
The number 6 will stop at Clarence Square then in Queen’s Road.
Services 12, 12A, 12C, 12X, 13X, 14, 14B and 14C will stop at the top of North Street.
Services 22, 24, 26, 28, 29, 29A, 29B, 29C, 50 and 81A will stop outside Pizza Hut in Dyke Road (opposite the Imperial Arcade).
Brighton and Hove Buses said that extra staff would be on hand to help people find their way to the correct bus stop.
Buses going west – from Woodingdean, Falmer, Moulsecoomb, Bevendean, Patcham, Hollingbury, Elm Grove, Hanover and Queen’s Park, Kemp Town, Whitehawk, Brighton Marina, Rottingdean and Saltdean – may also be affected.
No time has been given for when the work of repairing the gas leak will be finished.
