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This service will be withdrawn and replaced by a diversion on selected journeys on service 841.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.

Passengers travelling from Stafford to Weeping Cross, Wildwood or Brocton should use revised service 826. Click HERE for the new 826 timetable.

Service 826

Service 826 will be curtailed to run between Stafford and Rugeley only. A revised timetable on service 828 will continue to run between Stafford, Rugeley and Lichfield every 30 minutes. Buses on service 826 from Stafford towards Rugeley will divert via Tixall Road and Holdiford Road between Stafford and Milford, then will operate in a loop via Baswich, Wildwood and Brocton back to Milford before continuing to Rugeley. Buses from Rugeley towards Stafford will continue to operate via Baswich and Queensville between Milford and Stafford. Buses on service 826 will no longer operate via the Springfields estate in Rugeley.
