Admittedly this idea is losing momentum as I am not sure about rail engineering works, and the early Easter means it will not stay light for the extra hour on the Saturday. The August Bank Holiday weekend 2013 could be more likely.

These stands won't be in effect for the whole 40 weeks. The work on the South End of Stockton High Street will take 40 weeks, which will involve (in terms effect on Buses):

*The switching of the stands outside the Post Office to where the Taxi Rank currently is, with the Taxi Rank moving to outside the Post Office (stand number here will increase from 3 to 4)
*The stands outside Iceland/Stagecoach Travel Office are being moved closer to the shops, widening the road
*A turning loop at the bottom end, enabling quicker turn-around on services 52/58 (and possiably Arriva service 6 as well)

Also currently on-going is the work on St John's Crossing, which is due to be completed in December 2013. Almost all of that affects the bus services (Stagecoach 36/7/8 the main ones effected).
