Reading Buses has launched a consultation about proposed changes to the pink bus routes which service Caversham. The consultation closes on 31 October. Details of the consultation can be viewed on Reading Buses' website.
A Facebook group has been set up for those opposed to the proposed changes. UPDATE: A drop in meeting has been arranged in St Andrew's hall, St Andrew's Road at 4 pm tomorrow, Saturday 14 October. The purpose is to help raise awareness of Reading Buses' consultation and mobilise helpers.
Proposed Changes to Bus Routes, axing the number 24 |
The main changes for the number 22 which serves my Ward and the rest of Caversham Heights are:
- Re-routed away from Priest Hill, The Mount and much of Albert Road, instead going further along Hemdean Road then up Oakley Road
- Omitting stretch of the A4074 and Highmoor Road, instead turning into Richmond Road to loop back
- Increased frequency to every 20 minutes (from every 30 minutes)
- Converted to double deck buses
Revised Proposed Changes to Bus Routes |
Even if you responded to the original proposals, do please study the revised proposals before responding a second time.
