Bus Routes

Some limited buses will continue to operate through the road closures before the event where these do not impact upon the running of the race. Specific diversions of bus routes during the race have been agreed with the local authority and will be signposted on bus stops by them in advance of the event. It is likely that you will need to use alternative bus stops during the race as most buses will be diverted around the one way loop.
