From the 17th of May 2021, in England the capacity of our buses will be at some 80% of seated passengers which safely provides as much capacity as possible and is in line with the latest Government advice. This is possible due to new seating restrictions which will mean that every passenger is able to be seated in a forward-facing or side-facing position but the use of rear-facing seats will not be permitted.
If the bus has few passengers on board, we ask that you spread yourself out on the vehicle to give everyone as much space as possible.
Support for disabled passengers remains the same as before coronavirus, see here for more details ⇒
We have some timetable changes which will be coming into effect from Saturday 4 July 2020. You can view the new timetaables further up the page. The bus service details above on this page will be kept up-to-date; please keep checking this page for updates.
The majority of our services are running and we have made changes to our services to better support key workers, and to help manage reduced capacity due to the social distancing measures we have in place following Government guidance. You can view the latest timetables further up the page.
