1 year ago
We regularly review our network, taking into account customer and driver feedback and are making changes to several services from Sunday 3rd September 2023.
New PDF timetables can be viewed below, with full stop-by-stop timetables available in the NCTX Buses app and at www.nctx.co.uk/services by selecting the day you are travelling after 3rd September 2023.
Printed timetable leaflets will be available from regular outlets from late August.
The key changes include:
- Additional stops on the Green Line "City Loop" to improve access around the City Centre and a closer stop to the new Broad Marsh Bus Station and Library
- Sky Blue 45 extended to serve the new Chase Farm development in Gedling
- Orange 34 re-routed in the City Centre to serve the back of the Arena, providing better access to the new student accommodation on the east of the City
- Bus stop changes in the City Centre for Navy, Green and Orange Lines and Red 50
- Red 44/A re-routed in Gedling to terminate in the turning circle on Wollaton Avenue and use Arnold Lane Shelford Road both ways rather than Besecar Avenue towards City
- Revised timetables on our Navy 49 and Lime Line services to reflect post-pandemic demand
