York - Queen Street bridge closure

[Seehof]

I see East Yorkshire, against their service updates for various routes, has already published their diversions and changes for the forthcoming closure 19-22 April.
They state that York Council have contracted York Pullman to run a shuttle service from Blossom Street to the station via Clifford Street and Rougier Street.
I have yet to see any details from York Council, First and Transdev.
Now if Leeman Road still has two sets of road work traffic lights and all traffic wants to go up and down Numnery Lane, York is going to be gridlocked! Still there will be some interesting bus diversions especially the 1 and 5/5A!

I stand corrected - I have found information from York Council, First etc

Yes. We'll be out in force on the streets to help people out! Think I'm out both Saturdays across town
Leeman Road will remain as is for now

1/5/5A - diverts via Nunnery Lane then either Rougier St Acomb-bound or via Stonebow/Lord Mayor's Walk Northbound
3/4 - Terminate Blossom St, deadrun via Nunnery Lane loop to return on other side of road
7 - terminates Rougier Street, returns via Station Ave gyratory then Ouse Bridge, Clifford St to normal route
9 - as above, same as 7s
11 - diverts via Skeldergate Bridge (and Fishergate loop t/w Bishopthorpe) to normal route at Stonebow
66 - as 7s/9s
67 - left out of Coppergate to terminate opposite County Court on Clifford St. Returns to normal route at Merchantgate via Tower St, Castle Mills Bridge
200 - won't serve the station or Nunnery Lane, instead running via Rougier St, Ouse Bridge, Clifford St

If a route isn't listed, it's unaffected (2/2A, 6, 8, 10/10A, 59)

Nobody from First or any other bus company at the bus stop opposite the station this morning (Saturday 20th. Lots of people waiting especially for the 7s and Uni buses. One of the construction workers was helping people in between directing traffic.
Oh well it is only for 2 weekends!

There were 2 of us out from First and 1 from Pullman today

I was all over including an hour at the station 10.15-11.15 this morning (in fact I'm just about visible in this tweet from the Commercial Director of East Yorkshire), Exhibition Square 1230-1430 and Blossom St for the majority of the rest of the day. Back out tomorrow and next weekend
