Services to St Mark’s Hospital are altered

The changes include:

▪ Service 3: A new timetable is being introduced which will still run hourly, and the outbound route between Maidenhead town centre and Highfield Lane will change to run via St Mark’s Road and the hospital, then Courthouse Road and Bath Road. This is to provide a direct service to the hospital which will be lost as a result of the changes to services 8 and 16.

▪ Service 7: A new timetable is being introduced which will still run half hourly. The service will have a number of morning and afternoon journeys timed to connect with the faster trains to London.

In the Woodlands Park area, the service will be rerouted to serve Bissley Drive and Lowbrook Drive.

▪ Service 8: This service is being changed to operate only between Maidenhead town centre and Boulters Lock on an hourly frequency but with new times.

Passengers for Belmont Road, St Mark’s Hospital, Farm Road, Headington Road, Camley Gardens and Halifax Road estate are advised to use the rerouted service 9.

Passengers for St Mark’s Hospital can also use the revised service 3.

▪ Service 9: A new timetable is being introduced which will still run hourly, and the route will change to that used currently on a Sunday – via Camley Gardens, Farm Road and Belmont Road as a replacement for the section of route 8 which is being withdrawn.

▪ Service 16/16A: The service will run as the 16 only but with some significant changes to make the service between Maidenhead and Windsor more direct.

Some parts of the route are being withdrawn but will be served by alternative buses.

The route remains on an hourly basis, however current times will change.

The 16 will no longer serve Holyport, which will still be served by route 53, which runs between Bracknell and Maidenhead, and for much of the day this service will divert to include the loop at Stroud Farm Road. Also, it will no longer serve Wolf Lane and Foster Avenue, nor will it serve Lindon Avenue and St Marks Hospital (though at school times will still extend to/from Newlands School).

All new route 16 journeys will run through Fifield, restoring the village to getting an hourly service.

▪ Service 53: The service will divert at off-peak times and on Saturdays to serve Stroud Farm Road in Holyport, replacing the withdrawn 16/16A.
