School holiday changes in July 2025

From 27 July, we will be making small changes to two of our routes to better reflect how our customers use our services during the school holidays. 

Here is a summary of the upcoming changes: 

Service 1 – will operate up to every 12 minutes, reduced from the current frequency of every 10 minutes.

Service 7/8 - will operate up to every 30 minutes, reduced from the current frequency of every 20 minutes. 

We appreciate these changes may affect some of your usual journeys and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
