From Sunday 14th September until 8th November 2025
The impact of extensive roadworks in the area are causing significant reliability problems on Service 8 & 9.
To help alleviate the problems, we are putting additional resources and buses into these routes to make these services more reliable.
There may be some instances where, on arrival at Burton New St, the Driver may request that you transfer onto an alternative bus to continue your journey.
This is to allow buses to recoup their journey time and reduce lateness on these services.
If you are asked to transfer:
- Please be understanding that this is to improve reliability of your services. The Driver will have received this instruction from our Traffic Control Office.
- Please follow the Drivers guidance on transferring
- Tickets purchased on the original part of your journey will remain valid for your transfer until your destination.
- If you purchased a Single - Please ensure you retain your ticket for your full journey
We will continue to monitor these services over the coming weeks. We are working hard to get your journeys running smoothly and we appreciate your understanding in this matter. Thank you.
