the one

We are delighted to enhance the one to operate up to every 15 minutes between High Wycombe, Amersham and Chesham on Monday to Friday daytimes. This will provide an extra bus per hour along this corridor and provide extra capacity at busy times.

We are also pleased to introduce an additional late evening return trip on Mondays to Saturdays at 2130 from High Wycombe to Pond Park, and 2216 from Pond Park to High Wycombe.

In partnership with Buckinghamshire Council, up to one bus per hour will operate via Penn Street and Winchmore Hill on Mondays to Saturdays. All services running via these villages will run as service 1B. Pond Park will continue to have a half hourly service between services 1A and 1B. Service 1 will continue to serve Stanley Hill, and certain 1B services will run via Stanley Hill at school times only to provide a link for scholars living in Winchmore Hill and Penn Street. A new 1S variant will operate on school days only and serve both Stanley Hill and extend to Pond Park.

The Sundays and Bank Holidays service will continue to operate to the same routes and times as at present.

The routeing of Chiltern Hundreds 102 in Beaconsfield will change to be the same as Chiltern Hundreds 101, serving the Ronald Road and Cricket Ground bus stops, providing a consistent service up to every 30 minutes between High Wycombe and Uxbridge. Wilton Park will now be served by Chiltern Hundreds 103.

In addition, extra journeys will operate at peak times to double the frequency of buses between High Wycombe, Beaconsfield and Slough, providing extra trips at key school and commuter travel times.

The route in Beaconsfield will be amended to serve the Wilton Park development, operating via Beaconsfield Eastern Relief Road after serving Maxwell Road in the New Town.

Chiltern Hundreds 106 107

In light of recent operational experience, we'll be making some changes to these services to make the timetables more resilient. These changes will enable us to offer a more reliable and punctual service moving forwards. Our route in Little Chalfont will change to serve the residential area along Elizabeth Avenue and Chalfont & Latimer Station, for easier links to Central London on the Metropolitan Line. To support this, we will be running additional early morning and evening trips so customers can make full use of this new link.

Following feedback from customers and Amersham School, the 0710 Chiltern Hundreds 106 departure from Slough Wellington Street (0750 from Gerrards Cross Railway Station, 0805 from Chalfont St Peter, 0811 from Chalfont Common Bus Shelter, 0817 from Chalfont St Peter London Road) will serve Stanley Hill Schools. A return service will operate from Stanley Hill Schools at 1537. For more details of our bus services to Amersham School, please check back here soon!

We will also observe a revised route in Slough. On journeys to Slough, we will serve Queensmere Shopping Centre on Wellington Street, and then terminate at Brunel Way for easy access to the Railway Station. For journeys returning to Wexham Court, Gerrards Cross, The Chalfonts and Amersham, buses will continue to commence from Wellington Street, but will now use stop B instead of stop C.
