Notification of X16 and X18 service changes effective 22/09/2025

We are writing to inform you that, effective from 22 September 2025, we will be reverting the X16 and X18 services to their previous schedules from last year.

Following a period of operational stability, we have reviewed passenger usage and concluded that a reduction in service times is necessary. This decision has been influenced by services delays and in part by behavioural issues which appear to be linked to the extended journey duration.

Passengers will retain their existing pass, which will be updated with the relevant bus information on the evening of 19/09/2025, in preparation for travel on 22/09/2025.

Allocations are based on the school and bus stop selected on your reservation form.
