    Hello

    Thank you for the enquiry. 

    We used a combination of ticketing data and manual surveys to assess demand on bus route 353. However, if the proposals are introduced, route 353 would be monitored to ensure that right level of service is provided.

    Kind regards

    Thank you for your question.

    Bus route 654 provides one return journey on school days only. Following this consultation, should it be decided to proceed with this proposal, we will remove the bus stops currently only served by route 654. Our data shows these bus stops are not being used. 

    Thank you

Currently they only run 20mins and there are many occasions when not everyone can fit on the bus, particularly in the mornings due to the school kids. If you pull the bus route you are suggesting, this will saturate the 353 making it even more difficult for people to travel. on Facebook Share Will you run more 353 buses as a result?

    Dear Ellie 

    The 353 bus service will remain unchanged at a bus every 20 minutes Monday to Saturday daytimes. Our data indicates the 353 bus route can accommodate additional demand at school times when operating reliably. However, we would monitor usage to determine whether any additional capacity is required in the future.

    Thank you
