We made changes to our network on Sunday 27th July 2025. Click here to find out more >
On occasion there will be exceptionally high tides at Mersea Island which will affect our services.
During this time the following services will be required to terminate and start at Peldon:
| 55A | Colchester to West Mersea | Monday to Saturday |
| 68 | Highwoods to West Mersea | Monday to Saturday |
| 69/A | Colchester to East Mersea | Tuesdays ONLY |
| 67 | Colchester to East Mersea | Thursdays ONLY |
| 68A | Colchester to West Mersea | Sundays ONLY |
Strong winds can affect our pre-scheduled arrivals/departures from Peldon. Some tides are predicted to be just under height; therefore any bad weather could cause a rise in tide. Please continue to check the First Bus app and our social media channels for up-to-date travel information.
