Service Changes from 1st September 2024

We will be making several improvements to the Carousel Buses network from 1st September 2024, with more buses to Marlow, Henley, Reading and Bourne End alongside a new Sunday service to Maidenhead.

the one 1 1A 1B 1C 1S

In partnership with Buckinghamshire Council, a new variant 1C will connect Chartridge with Chesham, Amersham and High Wycombe up to every hour on weekdays. Service 1 will also be revised to operate via Botley and Ley Hill instead of Lye Green on all days of the week. Buckinghamshire Council have worked with Red Rose Travel to provide an alternative service through Lye Green on service 73.

On school days, one journey in each direction will link Whelpley Hill with Chesham and Amersham schools. We're also making some enhancements to the late evening service on all days of the week.

37 37A 37B 37S

Working with Buckinghamshire Council, we're doubling the number of buses per hour on weekdays, with services 37 and 37A now running a combined frequency of up to every 30 minutes between High Wycombe, Loudwater, Wooburn Green and Bourne End. Together with service 36, this restores the High Wycombe to Bourne End weekday frequency to up to every 15 minutes.

Service service 37 will return to operating via the London Road through Wycombe Marsh and Loudwater. Kingsmead Road will continue to be served with new service 37A.

Additionally, we are pleased to be introducing a new Sunday service to Maidenhead on service 37B, initially on trial basis. We hope this enhancement will be well used and that we can make this Sunday extension permanent.

Journey variations will be as follows:

  • 37 via London Road, Station Road and Boundary Road
  • 37A via Kingsmead Road and Boundary Road
  • 37B (on Sundays) via London Road, Station Road, Treadaway Hill, Flackwell Heath and White Pit Lane

41 41H 41S

We will be amending the route of service 41 between Great Missenden and Amersham in partnership with Buckinghamshire Council, and after consideration of feedback from residents in the Amersham area. Services will now operate via Hyde Heath and Chesham Bois instead of Old Amersham. Within Amersham, buses will operate via Chestnut Lane, New Road, Plantation Road and Grimsdell’s Lane. Frequent connections are available in Amersham to travel to Old Amersham, with buses operating up to every 15 minutes on the one.

In addition, a new 41H variant will operate on school days, providing links for students in Prestwood and Great Kingshill travelling to Holmer Green Senior School.

Flightline 102

We have worked with Heathrow Airport to improve the Sunday service, with new early morning and late evening journeys. As a result of this, we’ll be operating a consistent timetable overnight on all days of the week, perfect for those enjoying an evening out, and hassle-free for those needing to get to work at the airport.

103 X103

More trips will operate in peak periods, with a review of journeys operating between Slough and Windsor in order to make these improvements possible. There will also be additional late evening trips between High Wycombe, Beaconsfield and Slough to provide greater travel opportunities on Mondays to Saturdays, though these will not operate to Windsor.

Following the introduction of service X103 on Sundays and Public Holidays in June, we’ll be making some enhancements from September, with the hourly service operating all through the day. There will also be an additional round trip added to the timetable with new journeys from High Wycombe to Slough at 1800 and Slough to High Wycombe at 1900.

We’re adding a new morning trip from The Chalfonts and Seer Green to Beaconsfield and High Wycombe, providing an arrival into the town at 0720. There will also be some amendments to the journey times to maintain the headway of buses between High Wycombe and Beaconsfield.

For the first time, service 104 will operate on Sundays and Public Holidays, linking Seer Green and The Chalfonts with Uxbridge and Beaconsfield. For customers wishing to travel onward to High Wycombe, journeys are timed to enable an easy connection with Flightline 102 which runs every 30 minutes from Beaconsfield, Maxwell Road.

Services 106 and 107 will see some minor timing changes to improve punctuality during peak times. We'll be making a minor amendment to the route in Little Chalfont following feedback from residents. Buses will no longer serve Chalfont Avenue, instead observing a more direct route via Amersham Road between Chalfont & Latimer Station and Elizabeth Avenue.

Following taking over services 800 and 850 from Arriva in July, we have identified a number of areas to improve the timetable. All buses will operate as service 850, via Wargrave and Twyford between Henley-on-Thames and Reading, up to every 20 minutes Monday - Friday, every 30 minutes on Saturday and hourly on Sunday.

As such, the 800 and X80 variants will no longer operate, with other links now available for those travelling between Reading, Caversham, Dunsden Green, Binfield Heath and Henley-on-Thames.
