Warwick bus timetable and route changes announced for A46 closure
Buses in and out of Warwick will be hit by delays and timetable changes over the coming weeks due to the A46 road closure.
The dual carriageway will be shut between Kenilworth and Coventry from tonight (April 11) until May 1 as the new HS2 bridge is slid into place.
Bus operators have advised there will be a number of changes to local services.
The X17 will operate its usual route through Warwick, Leamington, Kenilworth and Coventry but "is likely to be subject to delay".
"We won't know the extent of the delays until they occur each day as we don't yet know how displaced traffic will react and the volumes that will take the diversionary routes," the Stagecoach website said.
"In particular the timetable has been revised on a Sunday so please check times for your bus accordingly."
Service X18 and X18A will also run via Kenilworth and the A429 but will not be serving London Road into Coventry as a result, or New Union Street in Coventry city centre.
"Additional running time has been inserted into these services in order to cover the additional journey time of the diversion as well as traffic delays as far as we can reasonably expect at this time," the website statement continued.
On service 15, the 6.13am journey on a Monday to Friday from Warwick to Stratford will also run slightly earlier at 6am as it connects into an X18 journey in Stratford.
Additionally, the Sunday timetable on the 15 is revised due to changes to the X17 with which the service has interconnected with.
There are also some minor re-timings on service 77D as some journeys on this service run in co-ordination with service X18A.
"We are very sorry for the inconvenience the delays and diversions to bus services this closure will cause," the statement continued.
"We will be liaising with the contractors to get their assistance in ensuring buses get through the diversions as swiftly as possible so please do bear with us."
