Drivers face delays at Dundee Waterfront as bus breaks down

It came after queues of more than an hour in the same area earlier this week.

Drivers faced delays at Dundee Waterfront due to a broken-down bus on Friday.

Traffic was queued back along East Dock Street, East Marketgait and Blackscroft at around 1pm after the Stagecoach bus broke down near City Quay.

One passer-by said the queue on East Dock Street stretched past Gallagher Retail Park.

He said: “Traffic is pretty backed up around the Olympia.

“There are long queues along East Marketgait, Blackscroft and East Dock Street past the retail park.

“It looks to have been caused by a broken-down bus which is blocking the inside lane.

“Police and a maintenance van are at the scene.”

Stagecoach confirmed one of their vehicles was recovered from the area on Friday afternoon.

A spokeswoman for Stagecoach East Scotland said: “We’d like to apologise to anyone who was affected by the breakdown of one of our vehicles in Dundee this afternoon.

“We immediately sent a mechanic to attend but unfortunately had to call for a recovery vehicle which took longer than anticipated.

“The road is now clear and all services have resumed as normal.”

The queues had largely cleared by 3pm.

It is the second time drivers have faced long delays in the area after tailbacks more than an hour long on Wednesday.

There have also been issues with traffic and parking at the new M&S at Gallagher Retail Park.
