From Sunday 11th December 2022, we will be making some changes to our network.
As we continue to emerge from the pandemic and adapt to changes in customer travel trends, we need to make sure that the network of services that we offer across Aberdeen, as well as the resources used to operate that network, are deployed to where it’s needed the most and to areas that will allow us to take advantage of new opportunities and grow the business.
Nevendon Road (Wickford) will be closed for resurfacing works on Monday 7th November – Sunday 13th November from 20:00 to 05:00.
Service 25 will divert via A132 Golden Jubillee Way.
We are unable to serve stops on Nevendon Road.
