SOME bus services will not be operating as usual tomorrow. 

Roadworks taking place on Hermitage Street in Rishton between 9.30am and 3.30pm mean the road will be closed for public transport tomorrow (August 21).

Whilst the road is closed, the Hotline bus won't be stopping at any stations between Whitebirk Roundabout and Dunkenhalgh Way but will be using the motorway instead. 

A spokesperson for Transdev said: "There are roadworks taking place on Hermitage Street in Rishton between 9.30am and 3.30pm on Tuesday 21 August.

"Whilst the road is closed, Hotline won't be able to stop at any of the bus stops between Whitebirk Roundabout and Dunkenhalgh Way. We'll be using the motorway instead, so sadly won't be able to stop anywhere else. 

"We're really sorry for any inconvenience."
