timetable changes
3 years ago
We are changing some timetables from Tuesday 3 January (as Monday 2 January will see buses running to their public holiday timetables as part of the Christmas service). This is to help reliability, to reflect some changes to routes and to help space out services better on common sections.
Please see the table below which provides a summary of each route and what is changing. There will be timetables available for each route very soon.
| route | summary | timetable |
|---|---|---|
| leopard 3 | The leopard will be re-routed in the Arborfield Green area to use the Nine Mile Ride extension, meaning buses will no longer visit Orwell Drive or use Park Lane but will instead be able to use the new road in both directions straight through. The timetable will be amended to reflect this new arrangement. | |
| lion 4/X4 | The lion sees a change to improve reliability which includes some journeys changing from 4 to X4 (or vice versa) to better reflect commuter journeys. There is a brand new timetable on Saturdays. There is no change to the 20 minute frequency. | click here for new times |
| emerald 5 | Some changes to help spacing with emerald 6 between Whitley Street and Central Reading. | click here for new times |
| emerald 6 | More buses to help improve reliability and timekeeping - frequency remains at every 12 minutes. Timetable change also helps the spacing with emerald 5 at Whitley Street to help customers have better service. | click here for new times |
| claret 21 | From Mon 9 Jan! Claret 21 remains at every 20 minutes but claret 21a becomes every 15 minutes and will be better timed to help regulate the service at the University for when lectures finish. This new timetable should also benefit reliability for the claret 21 service in Lower Earley. | click here for timetables |
| royal blue 33 | More buses to help improve reliability and timekeeping - frequency remains at every 20 minutes. | click here for new times |
| Mereoak p&r | Timetable change to reflect the reality of the how the September timetable change is working. The loop in Riseley is also reversed to allow buses to use the lay-by at the Bull. | |
| Green Line 702 | Timetable change to reflect the conclusion of the roadworks towards London. There will be changes to the timetable to help improve reliability and timekeeping. Buses on both Green Line 702 and 703 will now use Queensmere Car Park stop H on Wellington Street instead of Slough Bus Station for journeys towards Windsor following the fire at the station earlier this year. | click here for new times |
