Changes to Services 8 & 9
09 October 2025
From 9th November Route 8 and 9 will change.
We are changing the way we operate these services in order to improve reliability on both of these services.
Both 8 & 9 services will terminate at Burton New St, with onward travel to Queens Hospital available with the introduction of a new 7 & 7A service to the Hospital.
Service 7 will operate Monday to Saturday. Service 7A will operate Monday to Sunday.
The buses will change service number at Burton New St, however passengers are permitted to stay on the bus* and travel through from Service 8 to the 7A or, from service 9 to the 7 (On Sundays Service 9 will change into a Service 7A). The way these services will interwork is shown in the table below.
Passengers do not need to disembark* or re-scan a ticket at Burton New St for onward travel towards the Hospital or vice versa.
(*Some connections may require transfer of buses).
The services will change as shown in the table below:
