North West Route 204 Adapts to Keep Broadgreen Moving
Service 204 bypasses Broadgreen Hospital via Thomas Lane due to roadworks until 3:30 p.m.
Service 204 Reroutes Around Broadgreen Hospital
Riders on service 204 can't reach Broadgreen Hospital's usual stop today due to roadworks blocking Thomas Drive in Broadgreen. Buses are running via Thomas Lane and Brookside Avenue instead in both directions, transit officials said. The diversion affects passengers needing direct hospital access, though service continues to the surrounding area.
Context
The temporary route change stems from ongoing roadworks on Thomas Drive that prevent buses from accessing the hospital's regular stop location. Transit agencies typically reroute service around construction zones to maintain operations while infrastructure work proceeds. Officials said the diversion ensures continued service to the Broadgreen area during the roadworks. Specific details about the nature of the roadworks or which agency is conducting them weren't available.
Route Details
The diverted route uses Thomas Lane and Brookside Avenue to bypass the closed section of Thomas Drive. Officials said buses operate the modified route in both directions to maintain bidirectional service. The diversion adds travel time for some passengers, though officials haven't specified how much additional time riders should expect. Service frequency remains unchanged during the diversion period.
Timeline
Roadworks are expected to finish by 3:30 p.m. today, January 23, 2026, after which normal service should resume. Officials said buses will return to the regular route once Thomas Drive reopens. The agency didn't specify whether service would immediately revert to the standard route or if there'd be a transition period after roadwork completion.
Rider Impact
Passengers needing direct access to Broadgreen Hospital should allow extra time and consider alternative arrangements during the diversion. Officials advised riders to plan for the modified route when traveling to the hospital area today.
