Bus network changes for High Wycombe

On 19 April a number of bus services will be changing in High Wycombe. Many of the revisions are changes to times and routes to help improve the reliability of services.

Blue route 32, which currently runs between Micklefield, the town centre, Booker and Lane End, will no longer extend to Lane End except evenings and Sundays. Passengers who wish to travel to or from Lane End can catch Carousel Buses 2A/2C or a new service, Arriva the Shires route 340. The 340 will run hourly between High Wycombe, Sands, Lane End and Stokenchurch during Mondays to Saturdays.

Other services affected are green route 31 and red route 33/34, as well as services 37, 43, 74 and 331. Full timetables are in the latest comprehensive guide to buses in the Wycombe district, which will be available from 12 April in your local library and other usual outlets. Alternatively, the Rainbow Routes team will be on hand near the Gap store at the Eden Centre on 16 April from 9am to 2pm with representatives from Arriva and Carousel Buses to give travel advice and hand out the latest timetables.
