Bus forced to take different route due to 'badly parked cars'

A Manchester bus has been forced to take an alternative route after being unable fit down its usual passage due to poorly parked cars.

The Stagecoach 111 route, which runs from Manchester to Southern Cemetery, is operating a diversion for the closure of Yew Tree Lane, which would usually take the bus down Claremont Road in Rusholme.

However, terrible car parking has meant the bus now has to slog up Moss Lane East, Upper Lloyd St, Lloyd St South, and Wilbraham Rd to resume at Yew Tree Lane.

Tweeting this afternoon, Stagecoach said: "Route 111. the service is currently following a diversion for the closure of Yew Tree La.

"Due to badly parked cars on Claremont Rd, we're having to divert services heading to S. Cemetery only via Moss La East, Upper Lloyd St, Lloyd St South, Wilbraham Rd to resume at Yew Tree La."

Claremont Road is a busy street connecting two A roads in south Manchester.
