New shopping bus service
Many villages in south Warwickshire are for the first time to enjoy direct bus travel to Banbury.
A new bus service numbered 277 will be starting on 1 June, Warwickshire County Council has announced today.
The new shopping service will operate between Lighthorne Heath and Banbury, also serving the villages of Gaydon, Temple Herdewyke, Northend, Fenny Compton, Farnborough, Claydon, Mollington and Little Bourton.
It will be provided by Stagecoach with financial support from both Warwickshire and Oxfordshire County Councils.
The new service replaces the existing 510 service currently operated by Geoff Amos Coaches which provides a service for Farnborough, Claydon, Croperdy, Great Bourton and Little Bourton.
The 277 will provide bus travel on Mondays to Saturdays to the popular shopping destination of Banbury for the first time for many of these villages.
Details of this bus service are available on the County Council website http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/publictransport. A timetable leaflet for the 277 service can also be obtained by telephoning the Publicity Team on 01926 412987.
