Bus passengers face diversions for four weeks after Glasgow sewer collapse - here are the routes affected

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) has confirmed that a number of services will be closed affected by an emergency road closure near Buchanan Street Bus Station in Glasgow City Centre.

Scottish Citylink also confirmed the diversions on Cathedral Street for their services, with passengers advised to use Buchanan Bus Station.

A spokesperson for Scottish Citylink said: “Scottish Citylink services are currently being diverted due to the emergency closure of Cathedral Street in Glasgow, after a sinkhole was identified on the road on Tuesday evening. The street has been closed in both directions from 19:00, and at this stage we have not been given an estimated reopening time.

“As a result of the closure, our stops on Cathedral Street in both directions are temporarily out of use. Passengers should use Buchanan Bus Station instead.

“This closure affects all Citylink services that normally use Cathedral Street when entering or leaving Glasgow, including key routes such as service 902 between Glasgow and Edinburgh Airport, M8 between Glasgow and Dundee and the overnight M9 services between Glasgow and Aberdeen.

“All these services are currently following diversions, and while they continue to operate as normal, some delays are possible, particularly at busy times.

“We are monitoring traffic conditions closely and will continue to update customers through our usual channels. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate our customers’ patience while these emergency works take place.”

The busy street has been closed since yesterday afternoon. It will remain closed for up to four weeks after it was confirmed a Victorian egg brick sewer has collapsed.

Scottish Water carried out a CCTV survey under an emergency road closure on Cathedral Street on Tuesday night to investigate signs of likely voids beneath the surface.
