The ROKO named stop on Wilford Lane, used by buses towards Clifton, is withdrawn because of safety concerns as customers are walking off the bus straight into traffic and there have been a number of near misses. The Wilford Lane Tram Stop named stop, further along Wilford Lane is available as an alternative and is located near signalled pedestrian crossings.
Green 5
Buckfast Way turning circle in Abbey Park will be served hourly during the day, every day to improve access to the service. These journeys will show 5A. There are minor timetable changes during Monday to Friday peak times to improve reliability.
This change is introduced following consultation and partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council and local councillors.
