Service Changes 4th September

4th Sep 2022 onwards

‘the one’ between High Wycombe, Amersham, Chesham and Hemel Hempstead

Carousel became the sole operator of ‘the one’ services and now provide a combined up to every 20 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime frequency between High Wycombe, Amersham and Chesham. Three services each operate hourly:

1 High Wycombe to/from Hemel Hempstead via Hazlemere, Stanley Hill & Chesham
1A High Wycombe to/from Pond Park Estate via Hazlemere, Station Road & Chesham
1B High Wycombe to/from Pond Park Estate via Hazlemere, Stanley Hill & Chesham

A half-hourly service continues to be provided between Chesham Broadway and the Pond Park estate and an hourly service has been maintained to Lye Green, Bovingdon and Hemel Hempstead. The Sunday service remains hourly.

Chiltern Hundreds 103

As part of our network review in Buckinghamshire, it became clear that patronage between Beaconsfield and Amersham is very low and so unfortunately the section of the Chiltern Hundreds 103 between Beaconsfield and Chesham via Amersham was withdrawn. Buses on ‘the one’ provide a bus between Amersham and Chesham up to every 20 minutes.

We are pleased to announce that the revised Chiltern Hundreds 103 instead continues beyond Beaconsfield to Slough via Farnham Common and Farnham Road, restoring links that have not been in place for a number of years.

The Chiltern Hundreds 103 has additional earlier and later trips as well as enhanced frequencies operating during the morning and afternoon peaks, providing great connectivity for commuters, leisure travellers and scholars alike!

39 and 39A

Minor changes were made to the 39 timetable throughout the week.

Unfortunately, due to low usage, the 39A service has been withdrawn. Those who wish to travel from Totteridge to Sir William Ramsay School are advised to board the 39 to High Wycombe Bus Station arriving at 0728 and then catch the 0734 departure on the 5 to Royal Grammar School and Sir William Ramsay School. This will usually be operated by the same vehicle, and Carousel Zone A passes will allow for travel on both services. Passengers with passes valid for travel within Zone A will therefore normally be able to stay on the same bus. The reverse arrangement is recommended in the afternoon with the 5 arriving at High Wycombe Bus Station at 1549 and the 39 to Totteridge departing at 1555.

BB12

In order to provide a more punctual service, afternoon timings have been slightly adjusted.

5

Sir William Ramsay School informed us of the change to times of the school day from September. We have taken this opportunity to revise the timetable of service 5 to better suit the new school day. Additionally, the service starts and finishes at High Wycombe Bus Station, providing improved connections for those traveling to Royal Grammar and Sir William Ramsay Schools.
