Peterborough bus users to be affected by numerous timetable changes due to Oundle bridge weight restriction

Stagecoach has revealed people travelling on the X4 along the A605 to Elton, Alwalton, Lynch Wood, Orton Waterville or Orton Mere will be affected, with some journeys no longer stopping off at these places.

The alterations are being made to most journeys from Sunday, January 27 until Sunday, February 10, Stagecoach said.

Towards Peterborough, buses will run: Benefield Road, West Street, New Street, Glapthorn Road, New Road, North Street, Market Place, West Street, Mill Road, Barnwell Road, A605 and then as normal route.

Towards Northampton, buses will run: A605, Barnwell Road, Mill Road, West Street, New Street, Glapthorn Road, New Road, North Street, Market Place, West Street, Benefield Road and then as normal route.

Some journeys will also run directly to and from Peterborough via the A605 without stopping.

Bus stops along Station Road in Oundle will not be served so passengers are advised to use bus stops on North St.

The weight restriction is to prevent further deterioration to the historic Grade II listed structure.

Northamptonshire County Council is spending about £1.3 million for repair work on the bridge.

The money has come from the Department for Transport.

The repair work is scheduled to be completed by December.
