We are pleased to announce, we have been awarded the contract to operate Leighton's Town Bus Services from Sunday 1st June 2025. 

The new timetables, shaped by resident feedback and input from key local groups and organisations, along with the 3 Horizon workshop - A group exercise to explore how buses can best serve the town, will maintain bus services in Leighton Buzzard and Linslade. 

Peak-time journeys to and from Leighton Buzzard Railway Station will be enhanced, providing better connectivity for commuters. Additionally, there will be improve links with faster trains to London, making travel more convenient. 

School transport connections will be strengthened, ensuring a more reliable service for pupils. Journey times will be adjusted to be more realistic, helping to improve punctuality and reliability across the network. Evening and Sunday services will be retained, while a later Saturday evening departure has been introduced in response to community requests. 

Travel to Grovebury Road Retail Park will have improved connections on Sundays, to support shoppers and workers alike.
