A lot has changed in the last year and Stagecoach have worked hard to ensure passengers get where they need to be but understandably, alot less people are using bus services during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to this Stagecoach are making changes to their Express services from Monday 25th January, along with some minor changes to our local services to allow connections.
The list below outlines the services that are changing. The new timetables are available by clicking on the service number. The new timetables will allow you to see how your service will change – you may find that you need to change buses at a bus station or park and ride, but the same links between key locations are still available.
There are also some handy summary timetables below, some of which show the connections you’ll need to make to reach your destination – you can find these at the bottom of this update.
Please don’t forget, that right now, your travel should only be for essential purposes.
