Bus passengers in Stockport face several diversions and closed stops this month, with the longest-running closure, on Great Portwood Street, booked to last until Friday 27 November.

Great Portwood Street: diversion until 27 November

Great Portwood Street in Portwood is closed for Stockport Council highway repair and maintenance works, which the Greater Manchester road works register books from 7 September to 27 November. TfGM's service alerts list the 327 and 382 as affected. Buses heading towards Stockport are diverted via Tiviot Way and Lancashire Hill; the diversion applies in that direction only.

Carrington Road stops still out of use

Stockport Council says the works on Carrington Road are in their final stages and the road has reopened in both directions under temporary traffic lights, according to Stockport Today's 30 October roundup. Buses are still diverted via New Bridge Lane, and the stops on Carrington Road are out of use. TfGM lists the stop opposite Brinnington Road as closed until 24 November. The nearest stops are on New Bridge Lane or Stockport Road West.

A6 in Heaton Chapel: School Lane shut this week

School Lane is closed in both directions at the A6 from Monday 2 to Friday 6 November while Electricity North West carries out diversion works ahead of the council's junction scheme, according to dates the council published on 29 October. Heaton Moor Road then becomes one-way eastbound, towards Heaton Chapel and Reddish, from 6 to 8 November. Buses are diverted during the closures, and the council says the bus stops on the A6 between School Lane and Manchester Road are closed in both directions while the works run.

Bee Network alerts warn that the 7, 191 and 192 may be delayed by the traffic management on Wellington Road North and School Lane until 13 November.

Stand S at Stockport Interchange

Stand S at Stockport Interchange has been closed since 24 September, and no reopening date has been given. Some school bus services use an alternative stand, with bus operator notices pointing to stands N, G and Q before 8am.

Dates can change at short notice, so it is worth checking the TfGM and Bee Network travel alerts on the day you travel.
