New timetables from Sunday 30 October

On Sunday 30th October 2022, we will be introducing a new, sustainable bus network to the communities of Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough to reflect post-pandemic travel patterns.

Bus use in the UK has only partially recovered since the pandemic. Local bus operators, including Stagecoach, have been working to re-base local bus networks to take account of changes in people’s travel habits, lower passenger numbers, rising costs and labour challenges. This will ensure we can provide a sustainable network that we hope can grow over the longer-term.

Sunday timetable on Monday 19 September

On the special bank holiday for Queen Elizabeth II's funeral all Busway services will run to a Sunday timetable.

For more information please see the Stagecoach or Whippet website.
