JKH18: Bream/Coleford/Lydbrook

Issue/s: Road Closed - B4234, Upper Lydbrook

JKH18 will not be able to turn left into Lydbrook from Mireystock Crossroads due to the road being closed. Therefore, this route will divert via Hangerberry New Road. Students that board at Lydbrook, Jovial Colliers will need to make their way to Lydbrook, Central Stores.

There is every chance that the river levels may rise overnight making the B4234, Stowfield Road impassable. We will monitor this in the morning, and if so, the bus will divert, potentially causing some delay.

JKH19: Cinderford/Drybrook/Mitcheldean

Issue/s: Road Closed - Valley Road, B4227 - Outside Forest View Park

JKH19 will not be able to use Valley Road between stops Cinderford, Hastings and Cinderford, by Brook. Therefore, it will divert via Hastings Road, Somerset Road and Victoria Street to continue its route from Cinderford, by Brook. Bus may be delayed, therefore we advise students to please wait at stops until the bus has arrived, unless informed otherwise.

Issue/s: Road Closed - B4234, Upper Lydbrook and Jovial Colliers/Church Road

JKH25 will pick up at Cinderford, by Woodlands on the opposite side of the road to normal.

JKH25 will not be able to carry straight on into Lydbrook from Mireystock Crossroads. Therefore, to serve stops: Joys Green, Forge Hill Turn and Ruardean, The Square, the bus will have to divert. 

The diversion will take the coach via: A4136, Morse Road, High Street, Townsend. The coach will undoubtedly be late to these stops by approximately 20 minutes, therefore we advise students to please wait at stops until the coach has arrived, unless informed otherwise.

We urge everybody to please take care whilst making your way to bus stops in the morning. Please look out for any more updates. We will endeavour to keep everybody as informed as possible.
