A WORCESTER bus service has warned customers of 20 minute delays for its number 35 service.

First Bus revealed its 35 service was having to make a diversion via City Walls Road and Martins Gate due to Lowesmoor Road being closed this morning (Sunday).

The road closure is due to roadworks along Lowesmoor that are scheduled to last until 6pm, with Severn Trent on site.

This has compounded the service with delays, with First Bus warning regular bus commuters that the 35 service would be behind schedule.

Due to the 20-minute delays, First Bus confirmed the 35 service to Blackpole would be running late, which would also have an affect on the following destination times.

It has apologised for any inconvenience caused.
