Changes from 4th August 2024

From 4th August, we're making changes to our fares.

The changes will be made across selected fares, including Two-Trip, FirstWeek, First4Week, Flexible Day Bundles and First Unlimited tickets.

All fares that were changed in April, including Single and Day tickets, will remain unaffected.

The price of these affected tickets has been frozen for the last 16 months, but increasing costs relating to fuel, energy, parts, and labour have meant it is no longer feasible for us to keep these prices at their previous level.

Due to BT pole renewal, our Pink Line 11 & Green Line 14 services will need to take a diversion route.

Temporary Route Diversion Route 20
Hill Park Road, Thames Drive, and Red Barn Lane.

Monday 29th August, for 1 day only

Due to roadworks at the junction of Thames Drive, route 20 will be diverting via:
Highlands Road and Kiln Road in both directions.

Passengers are advised to use the alternative stops at either the Working Men’s Club on Highlands Road or St Francis on Funtley Hill.
 

Rectory Road, Basildon will be closed for phased roadworks from Monday 22nd July to early September 2024.

Due to the complexity of these roadworks; the B3 and B4 services will be placed on temporary diversions, to reduce delays to overall service. These diversions will likely be revised dependent on the completion of the phased roadworks:
