Allen's West Crossing

We have been trying for the last week or two to get clarification of this weekend's arrangements for the closure to vehicles & pedestrians. The latest news is:
Owing to the length of the diversion undertaken between Hartburn Interchange and Yarm (via the A66 and Yarm Road), the Saturday daytimeArriva Service 20 will be unable to serve Orchard Estate - the nearest alternative stops will be at Eaglescliffe Tesco. Early Saturday morning ('551'), Saturday evening ('7A') and all day Sunday services ('7A'), will continue to serve Orchard Estate as per their normal timetables.
The shuttle bus will not connect Eaglescliffe with Hartburn, as originally advised.
The arrangements so far as we can find out are as follows. PLEASE ADVISE
YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS WHO MAY NOT SEE THIS.
A. NO-ONE (VEHICLE OR PEDESTRIAN) WILL BE ABLE TO CROSS THE RAILWAY AT
ALLEN'S WEST FROM 2200 ON FRI. 17TH TO 0500 ON MON. 20TH.
B. Bus services 551 & 7A during this period will U-turn at Greenfield Drive & not serve the Kingsmead stop, to & from which passengers will be unable to walk.
C. On Sat. 18th Service 20 will not serve any stops on Durham Lane.
Between Hartburn Interchange & Yarm it will run via the A66 & Yarm Road (& vice versa). It will continue to serve the Millfield Close & Tesco stops on Urlay Nook Road, calling there shortly after 54 min. past the hour on the Tesco side of the Road on the way to Yarm, Stockton & Middlesbrough, returning from Yarm at 31 min. past the hr.
D. The free shuttle bus will run between Stockton, all stops in Durham Lane N of the railway and Yarm (Ketton Ox) & Town Hall (timetable below).
