Major roadworks in Stafford from 1st July 2024Date: 1st July 2024

There are major roadworks between Stafford and Weeping Cross commencing 1st July 2024.

During this time bus times on some routes will change and we will be unable to serve some areas.

We apologise for the inconvenience these changes cause, which are beyond our control. We have planned our routes and timetables to try to minimise the impact of the works to as many of our passengers as possible.

Below are the full details of services that are being changed.

Service 10

This service will be withdrawn and replaced by a diversion on selected journeys on service 841. See below for more information.

Service 74

Service 74 will operate via the normal route on all journeys from Cannock towards Stafford. From Stafford towards Cannock buses will operate non-stop from The Sun (Lichfield Road) to Pottal Pool roundabout. We regret that there will be no southbound stops on service 74 through Queensville, Weeping Cross, Wildwood, Brocton and Bednal Head. Service 826 will provide an alternative service from Stafford to Weeping Cross, Wildwood and Brocton. There will be no southbound buses serving stops between Brocton and Pottal Pool.
