We are aware of the issues preventing Arriva services 5 and 5A from currently serving stops on Rearsby Road in Queniborough as a result of a recently installed central crossing island.
This work was led by David Wilson Homes following their recent development and we are urgently working with them on a solution.
In the meantime, an alternative, free of charge taxi-based service provided by the county council which was in place whilst works were underway will be reinstated from 6 October to ensure access to public transport is still available.
Residents do not need to book this service as it will operate like a shuttle bus from Monday to Saturday. The service, ran by Premier Taxis will pick residents up at either 7:00am, 11:00am or 4:35pm from Rearsby Road and will take them to the bus stops located on Melton Road to allow them access to use the Arriva 5 and 5A services.
