Arnold buses to be diverted during gas works in August

A number of bus services in Arnold will be diverted during gas works which will take place from Monday.

Nottingham City Transport bus services 25, 53, 58 and N58 will be diverted for around six weeks whilst gas works take place on Nottingham Road in Arnold.

The works are taking place in two phases, with the first phase from Monday, August 8 until Sunday, August 21 affecting services as follows:

• Lilac 25 will divert both ways along Arnot Hill Road and will not serve Thackeray’s Lane, Mansfield Road (Daybrook) or Nottingham Road
• Grey 53, Lime 58, N58 will divert both ways along Mansfield Road and Cross Street to reach Arnold Town Centre

During the first phase, no bus stops on Nottingham Road will be served between Daybrook Square and St Alban’s Road (Wilkos). Buses will observe all stops on their diversion routes.

Customers using Lime 58 to the City from Arnold Town Centre will only be able to catch buses at the “Brackendale Avenue” stop on the bottom of Church Street (opposite the Robin Hood and Little John PH) because stops at the back of ASDA and along the High Street won’t be served.

The second phase of works from Monday 22^nd August until mid-September will see all buses divert via Sir John Robinson Way and Mansfield Road, with only stops near Arnot Hill Park missed.
