Buckinghamshire Council has worked with local bus operators to deliver improvements to bus services for passengers in and around Aylesbury from November.

In addition, from Monday 3 November until the end of the year, Sunday travel on the new Aylesbury town services will be free of charge on all buses, and this will be extended to include routes 2, 4 and 10.

The new bus service enhancements include:

  • Service 1/1E Red Rose Travel, Aylesbury to Fairford Leys via Fowler Road: Introduction of Monday to Saturday evening service 1E running with last journey at 23:15. New hourly Sunday daytime service.

The council has secured a total of £1.9m of grant funding from the Department for Transport to deliver improvements to bus services across Buckinghamshire as part of the Government’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) fund. The BSIP funding has previously enabled a range of improvements to bus services in other parts of Buckinghamshire, including High Wycombe and the south of the county with Aylesbury and surrounding areas now the focus for the latest changes.

Thomas Broom is Buckinghamshire Council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Transport. He said: “I am delighted that once again, we have been able to use the BSIP funding to invest in local bus services in Buckinghamshire.”

“Enhancing public transport provision is a key priority for the council and gives choice to residents wanting to get around the county. This includes giving existing passengers greater flexibility, opening routes for new bus users and supporting our ambition to boost choice in sustainable transport across the county.”

Changes to bus timetables will take effect from Monday 3 November. Full details and timetables can be found on Changes to bus services and timetables | Buckinghamshire Council
