Number 4 bus route confusion as St Helens Road works continue
The number 4 bus service is continuing to avoid St Helen’s Road where there are ongoing works to the gas main.
The First bus web site is still quoting the reason for the diversion of it’s number 4 service as the burst water main, although this was fixed some time ago.
The number 4 is currently routing via Chaloners Road/Moor Lane/Tadcaster Road missing out the Eason View/Thanet Road loop as well as St Helen’s Road.
Northern Gas have confirmed that they expect to finish work on their main on Friday 29th May 2015.

St Helen’s Road closure to continue
Dringhouses School will reopen tomorrow (Thursday) but with pedestrian access only.
Yorkshire Water apologises for “low water pressure” in area.
St Helens Road expected to be closed throughout Thursday.
Yorkshire Water criticised for “poor communications” over cause of burst main and likely time for restoration of service. “Should make better use of social media” say local Councillors.
Looks like Tadcaster Road will be busy at teatime!
St Helen’s Road 1400 hours 13th May 2015
It looks like Tadcaster Road will be very congested at teatime.
St Helen’s Road is still closed although now relatively free of surface water following the burst main earlier today. Workers are still digging their way down to the source of the problem. There is access for pedestrians and cyclists (who will need to dismount next to the roadworks)
It is race day so several hundred vehicles will be leaving the Knavesmire at tea time.
Those who can are advised to avoid driving down Tadcaster Road.
The number 4 bus route diversion remains in place.
