North West Adjusts Routes 12, 13 After Incident

Bus routes 12 and 13 bypass Waterpark Drive and Leach Croft stops due to safety concerns

Bus Routes 12, 13 Skip Two Stops After Incident

Two bus routes are bypassing stops on Waterpark Drive and Leach Croft for the remainder of service hours due to anti-social behaviour in the area, transit officials said. Services 12 and 13 will skip both locations until normal operations resume, though officials didn't specify when full service would return. Passengers using these stops should plan alternate routes or allow extra travel time.

Safety Concerns Prompt Service Modification

The temporary route changes follow reports of disruptive behaviour near the affected stops, according to the transit agency. Officials said passenger and driver safety remains the top priority when making operational decisions. Transit agencies typically modify routes when security concerns arise at specific locations, though the exact nature of the incident wasn't detailed in available information. The decision to bypass stops rather than suspend entire routes helps maintain service for other passengers along the lines.

Two Stops Affected by Temporary Bypass

Both Waterpark Drive and Leach Croft stops will be omitted from routes 12 and 13 until further notice, officials confirmed. The agency didn't provide details about how many passengers typically use these stops or whether alternative stops are within reasonable walking distance. Officials said they're monitoring the situation but haven't announced when normal service patterns will resume. Passengers who regularly board at the affected locations will need to use nearby stops, though specific alternate boarding points weren't identified by the transit system.

Service Expected to Resume After Resolution

Normal service to Waterpark Drive and Leach Croft will resume once safety concerns are addressed, transit officials said, though a specific timeline wasn't provided. The agency typically coordinates with local authorities when security issues affect transit operations. Officials advised passengers to allow extra time for their journeys while the temporary route modifications remain in effect.

Riders Should Plan for Delays and Route Changes

Passengers who use routes 12 and 13 should check for service updates before traveling, as the stop omissions will add time to some journeys. Officials said riders may need to board at alternate locations until the affected stops are restored to service. Moovit provides real-time updates for bus routes, helping passengers navigate temporary service changes and find alternate boarding locations.
