Bus route diversions

I have been contacted by a number of residents about the diversion routes for the buses during the closure of Queen Street for resurfacing works. There are a lot of stops that won’t get a service; most of these are along Monifieth Road. Notices were due to be in place by today to advise passengers of the diversion. The real time signs at the bus shelters will show ‘bus stop out of use’.

Phase 1 (this Friday to Sunday) will be the most difficult period.  A temporary stop has been provided near Hotel Broughty Ferry and it is anticipated that another one will be provided near to The Cambustay. The number 5 will use Balgillo Road, Ballinard Road, Claypotts Road, West Queen Street, Victoria Road and Strathern Road.

Stagecoach buses will be diverted via Abertay Street, Nursery Road, Forthill Road Balgillo Road Ballinard Road, Victoria Road to Strathern Road (Claypotts Road, West Queen Street/Dundee Road).

From Monday only Stagecoach services will be affected but they will be able to use Fort Street.
