Carousel Buses to continue ‘rebuild’ of High Wycombe network

Carousel Buses to increase High Wycombe bus service level
SHARE

Former Arriva services in and around High Wycombe are among those that will benefit from further timetable uplifts to be introduced on 23 February by Carousel Buses.

Those routes came into the Go-Ahead subsidiary’s fold in late July 2024 after the closure of Arriva depots in Aylesbury and High Wycombe. Carousel introduced an opening raft of improvements little over a month later and has been recruiting staff since it agreed to take over the services.

Some of the further uplifts across the Carousel network are commercial, while Bus Service Improvement Plan money from Buckinghamshire Council, Oxfordshire County Council and Wokingham Borough Council is also in play, the business has confirmed.

The operator claims that it has “rebuilt the bus network” in High Wycombe since taking over services from Arriva. Service 850 between the town and Reading will now see a doubling in frequency during the daytime over the busiest section as far south as Henley-on-Thames. Evening and Sunday frequency will double throughout.

Evening and Sunday journeys are introduced to other routes while daytime changes will broadly involve extensions and frequency improvements. Crosstown services in High Wycombe have been particularly successful under Carousel Buses operation and the improvements will capture that provision, the operator adds.

Managing Director Luke Marion says that the uplifts are “the next step in our exciting development plans, building on the fantastic progress we have made in stabilising and growing the bus network after taking over more [of it] in and around High Wycombe.”

Mr Marion describes the uplifts as “excellent news for bus users and communities across our network” and adds that Carousel is “proud to be able to expand the network further to help improve connectivity for people to more towns and villages across the counties we serve.

“These new routes and service improvements will further make bus travel an attractive option for people to travel sustainability for work, education and leisure purposes.”

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
