Temporary Diversion Details

During the police incident, service 76 was rerouted via Mackets Lane and Higher Rd to avoid the affected area, according to the transit agency. The diversion meant riders at stops along Lydiate Lane, Okell Drive, and Hollies Rd couldn't access the route temporarily. Officials didn't provide details about the nature of the police incident or how many trips were affected during the disruption. Transit agencies typically implement diversions when law enforcement activity blocks normal routes or creates safety concerns for buses and passengers.

Route Restoration

The service returned to its normal routing after authorities cleared the scene at Lydiate Lane, officials confirmed. All regular stops along the route are now being served again. The agency didn't say whether any trips were canceled during the incident or if buses experienced significant delays. Officials also didn't provide information about how riders were notified of the temporary diversion while it was in effect.

Service Status

Service 76 is operating on its standard route as of the incident's resolution, transit officials said. The agency didn't announce any lingering delays or schedule adjustments following the diversion. Officials typically restore normal service as quickly as possible once police activity concludes and streets reopen to traffic.
