Yorkshire Route 126 Adjusts for Roadworks

Route 126 diverts April 21 for roadworks, closing three stops for extended period

Route 126 Diverts April 21 Due to Roadworks

Riders on Arriva UK Bus route 126 will need to use alternate stops starting April 21 as the service diverts around roadworks. Three stops will be temporarily closed, transit officials said. The diversion is expected to remain in place for an extended period, though officials haven't specified an end date.

Roadworks Prompt Service Adjustment

The route changes are being implemented due to roadworks in the area, according to Arriva UK Bus. Transit agencies typically reroute buses around construction zones to maintain schedule reliability and passenger safety. Officials said the diversion will allow work crews to complete necessary infrastructure improvements. The agency didn't provide details about the specific roadwork project or which streets will be closed to bus traffic.

Three Stops Temporarily Closed

The affected stops include Hazel Crescent (northeastbound), Pildacre Hill (eastbound), and Wesley Street (eastbound). Passengers who normally use these stops will need to board at the nearest available stop along the diverted route. Officials haven't said which alternate stops riders should use or how far passengers may need to walk to reach service. The agency advised passengers to plan their journeys accordingly and allow extra travel time during the diversion period.

Extended Diversion Timeline Expected

The diversion takes effect April 21, 2026, and will continue onwards for an extended period, officials said. The agency hasn't announced a specific end date or estimated duration for the route changes. Transit officials said passengers should check for updates regularly as the situation develops.

Riders Advised to Check for Updates

Passengers can monitor service changes through real-time transit information as the diversion continues. Officials said riders should allow extra time for their trips and identify alternate stops before the changes take effect.
