service revisions from Mon 20 July

From Monday 20 July, we will be making one permanent service cancellation, whilst also making improvements to other routes. 

pink 22 saved

We are delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with Reading Borough Council to save the pink 22. There will be a new timetable from Monday 20 July. Full details can be found here.

service cancellation

Route 12 from Reading to Twyford will no longer run as customer numbers haven't met expectations since the service was introduced in November. However, Thames Valley Buses routes 127/128/129 will continue to serve this area, along with Carousel Buses routes 127/850 as was the case prior to November. 

other timetable changes and improvements

The improvements on other routes see aqua 28/28a having a more direct route from Reading to Henley. The service, which has been a major success since its introduction, will use Reading Bridge and Prospect Street instead of Caversham Bridge. This will cut journey times to Henley by around 5 minutes whilst maintaining connections to Caversham centre and providing a service along the full length of Henley Road for the first time. 

Pink 22 will have a new timetable with buses running around every 45 minutes throughout the day. 

The timings of pink 25/25a to Peppard Common will be adjusted alongside this to create a more coordinated frequency with aqua 28/28a between Prospect Street and Reading.

Little berries 29/29a to Lower Caversham will be doubled in frequency on Sundays to run every 30 minutes, with 29a journeys via Caversham Centre introduced to match the rest of the week.
