Stourbridge Station Repairs Shift Routes Temporarily

Stourbridge Interchange closes April 11-13 for carriageway repairs, five routes move to temporary stops

Stourbridge Bus Station Closes for Repairs

Riders using Stourbridge Interchange will need to board buses at temporary stops this weekend as the station closes for maintenance work. The bus station will shut down from Saturday, April 11, through Monday, April 13, 2026, for essential carriageway repairs, transit officials said. Five bus routes will operate from alternate locations on Birmingham Street and Foster Street during the closure.

Maintenance Work Requires Full Station Closure

The three-day closure allows crews to complete essential carriageway maintenance that can't be done while buses are operating, according to the transit agency. Officials said the work is necessary to maintain safe and reliable service at the interchange. Bus stations typically undergo periodic maintenance to repair road surfaces, update infrastructure, and address wear from daily bus operations. The agency scheduled the work over a weekend to minimize disruption to weekday commuters.

Five Routes Relocate to Temporary Stands

Service 6 will use temporary stand T2 on Birmingham Street during the closure. Service 7 will split operations between temporary stand T3 on Foster Street for Dudley-bound buses and stand J for Wollaston-bound trips. Service 8 will operate from temporary stand T3 on Foster Street in both directions. Service 9 will board at temporary stand T1 on Birmingham Street, while Service 16 will use temporary stand T3 on Foster Street. Officials didn't specify whether the temporary stands will have shelters or real-time arrival displays.

Closure Begins Saturday Evening

The station will close after the last bus departs Saturday evening, with services resuming from the temporary stands Monday morning, April 13. Officials didn't provide specific times for when the last Saturday buses will depart or when Monday service will begin. The agency said normal operations will return once maintenance work is completed, though whether buses will immediately return to regular stands Monday or if there'll be a transition period wasn't specified.

Riders Should Verify New Boarding Locations

Passengers are advised to check the new stand locations before traveling to avoid missing their buses. Riders unfamiliar with the temporary stops should allow extra time to locate the alternate boarding points on Birmingham Street and Foster Street. Moovit provides real-time bus locations and service alerts for Stourbridge routes, helping riders navigate the temporary changes and find their buses at the new stands.
