We will be making several improvements to the Carousel Buses network from 23rd February 2025, with more crosstown buses, a new service from Penn to Beaconsfield, more buses to Marlow and Henley and a new route from Reading to Maidenhead.
27, 27A & 29
As part of a review of supported services in the High Wycombe area, current services 27 and 39A will become services 27, 27A and 29.
Services 27 and 27A will operate 3-4 trips per weekday serving Bowerdean Road, Totteridge, Hatters Lane and Robinson Road. Service 27A will also serve Walton Drive and Totteridge Drive currently served by service 39A on one trip per day.
