Temporary Stops in Burton

From July 14th High Street in Buton will be closed for approximately 8 weeks to allow the fitting of lifting Bollards. 

During this time we will not be able to serve our usual stops on Union Street and High Street. Instead we will be diverted and will stop on Station Street and Worthington Street.

The map below shows where to catch your bus.

ruddington connection

From 27th July the popular ruddington connection will double in frequency and make a new direct link to the Ruddington Fields Business Park. Customers travelling into Nottingham will benefit too as ruddington connection will be extended round the city centre calling at Broadmarsh, Upper Parliament Street and Old Market Square.

We have worked with our partners at Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council to provide a frequent direct link from Ruddington Fields Business Park to West Bridgford and Nottingham. And the bonus is that customers along the route will see extra buses up from a bus every half hour to one every 15 minutes between Ruddington and Nottingham. The Ruddington to Clifton part of the service will increase from hourly to half hourly too.

From the same date we will be making some changes to the buses in Barleylands.  The first bus from Barleylands to Nottingham will be at 9.18am.  Buses back from Nottingham will run at 15 minutes past the hour from Broadmarsh and drop off on request to the driver.

rainbow 5
Roadworks in Loughborough

The centre of Loughborough will see roadworks through the summer while gas mains are replaced. There may be some delays on the Loughborough section of rainbow 5 due to this work. Later on in the summer buses may have to divert in the town. Full details will be posted here when they are available.

9.4
Healdswood and Fackley Way

We have for some time had difficulty turning from Fackley Way to Fackley Road. From 27th July 9.4 buses will travel the opposite way along Fackley Way to eliminate this turn.  Customers at Fackley Way should wait on the opposite side of the road than at the moment.

Also 9.4 will now serve Healdswood before Fackley Way. Times at Healdswood will be 2 minutes earlier than they are now. Times at Fackley way will be 7 minutes later

Full timetables will be available shortly.

9.3 & 90
Road Closure Kirkby Lane/Pinxton Lane

The road between Kirkby and Pinxton will be closed from 10th April until 21st August.

During these works 90 will use Park Lane to travel direct between Kirkby and Selston; we will be unable to serve Commonside, Station Road or Beafort Lane. 9.3 will also use Park Lane but will have to divert via Commonside, Station Road or Beafort Lane to make this diversion.

This means any customers for service 90 on Commonside, Station Road or Beafort Lane should catch 9.3 and change to 90 at Portland Road.

Findern Lane Closed

Findern Lane is now closed for up to 6 months; for the development of a new marina. This will mean that villager V3 buses will not be able to serve Findern. A shuttle bus is being provided by Derbyshire County Council to link Findern to the main villager V3 route at Heatherton.
