Temporary COVID bus timetables from 16 January

From Saturday 16 January, we will be making some temporary changes to our services in light of the government’s latest COVID restrictions. Most services continue to operate but with some reduced frequencies as shown below.

These changes will ensure that we’re meeting travel demands and still allowing for social distancing to take place.

If your service isn’t listed below, then it will continue to run to its normal timetable.

Live times are available on both our website and app – and you can check in advance how busy your journey is going to be using our When2Travel planning tool.

You can view all the timetables in our timetables and maps section – simply select your service and change the calendar to your desired date.

Timetable booklets will also be available on all buses from this weekend.
