News For You 13

Once again we are opening our doors for a day of family fun.  At 11.00 am this Sunday 3 July we will open our fourth annual family open day.  All money raised on the day will be for our very local charity of the year, Duchess of Kent House Hospice.

There will be a free shuttle to the bus depot (one of our vintage buses) running from the town centre.

We have introduced a new e-purse which is a smartcard for you to load cash on to pay for your bus fare.  From recent customer feedback we were told that most of you wanted two different smartcards, one for your period pass or Easysaver 10 and a seperate one for your cash.

We hope you will agree this new orange simplyBus e-purse will stand out in your wallet and will make catching the bus much simpler as you will not need to worry about finding the correct change.

These are available at our Travel Centre in the Broad Street Mall.

Coming soon... we are working hard behind the scenes so you can top-up your simplyBus card online or by phone. We are hoping to have this in place ready for the end of summer, when everyone is getting ready to go back to school and work.  In the meantime, you can of course top-up on bus with the driver or at the Travel Centre.

Are you going to Heley Royal Regatta this weekend?  To help people get back home to Reading, Twyford and High Wycombe we have laid on some special Regatta bus services.  They will operate late on Friday 1 and Saturday 2 July long after the trains have stopped running.

This means you will be able to stay and see the fireworks on Saturday night without getting stranded.
