Changes to services in Tamworth and Lichfield October 2024
From 26 October 2024
From Saturday 26th October 2024, we’ll be making some big changes on routes X65/765 between Tamworth and Lichfield.
X65 Tamworth – Lichfield fast and direct
We’re running more buses on this route, offering customers a more regular and reliable service between Tamworth and Lichfield. Buses will run up to every 30 minutes on Mondays to Saturdays throughout the day. An evening service will continue to be provided on the 765.
Buses on the x65 will no longer serve Boley Park but will run direct along Tamworth Road and Upper St. John Street.
765 Tamworth – Whittington – Boley Park - Lichfield
A revised timetable and route are being introduced.
There will be a slight reduction in the number of journeys serving Whittington. On Mondays to Fridays, and Saturdays there will be around 2 or 3 journeys less in each direction, with buses running approximately every 1 hour 20 minutes.
The route will be changed to provide a link with Boley Park, replacing the service currently provided on the x65. The route through Boley Park is the same as the current x65, serving all bus stops along Ryknild Street and Roman Way.
The 0800 from Tamworth to Lichfield and the 1535 from Lichfield to Tamworth on Mondays to Fridays, will operate along Tamworth Road and Upper St. John Street to maintain the link with King Edward VI School in Lichfield.
We will continue to offer an evening service on Mondays to Saturdays with the last bus leaving Tamworth at 2130 and Lichfield at 2205.
