We are making minor changes to the Essex bus network from Sunday 27th July 2025.

Key details:

We are making some minor changes to services for the duration of the summer school holiday period ONLY. This is to reflect lower demand and provide more appropriate running times when traffic levels are lighter in the morning and afternoon. In Colchester, the 54 service will operate a Sunday service, every 15 minutes - improving frequency. There are also changes to the 88 service which will now be provided by konectbuses during the daytime - Monday to Saturday.
