Bus routes may be delayed by Olympic torch in Midhurst, Chichester and Bognor
Stagecoach are urging travellers who plan to take the bus to watch the relay through Midhurst, Petworth, Chichester, Bognor Regis, North Bersted and Arundel to check timetables and routes as some services will be affected by road closures and diversions.
The firm’s managing director in the south, Andrew Dyer, said they expect many people to travel by bus to view the procession so to avoid the anticipated traffic congestion and the hassle of finding parking.
