Weekday Timetables Resume from 21st February 2022
4 years ago
We’re pleased to announce that Friday 18th February 2022 will be the last day we operate our enhanced Saturday timetable on weekdays.
When we announced the move to our current timetables, we had a shortfall of 10% on the number of drivers we needed, due to the national shortage of drivers and COVID self-isolation.
Our driver availability is now much better and based on our forecasted driver numbers, we are able to resume a weekday service from Monday 21st February 2022.
Most services will revert back to their previous timetables, which you can view on the NCTX Buses app and on our website.
We had planned to make changes to Brown 15, 16, 17; Pink 28, 30, 31; Orange 36; Navy 48; Lime 56, 57, 58, 59; Turquoise 77, 78, 79/A; Purple 87, 88, 89 and NightBus N4 at the end of January 2022, and these services will adopt their new timetables from Sunday 20th February 2022. You can see a summary of these changes and preview new timetables below and here.
Orange 34 will continue to operate to its current timetable, with buses every 15 minutes on weekdays at peak times and half hourly at all other times.
NightBus services N4 and N34 will resume, although all other NightBus services remain suspended.
Thank you for your support and patience over the last few weeks.
