Improvements to a Herefordshire bus service are being rolled out later this month. This is good news especially for residents of St Mary’s Garden Village and students at John Kyrle High School in Ross-on-Wye.
From Sunday, January 26, the Stagecoach 33 service will service the expanding St Mary’s Garden Village development just off the A40 in Ross on Wye. As a result, links and connections along Ledbury Road will also improve following funding and feedback from Herefordshire Council.
A further improvement will also see the 33, towards Gloucester, stop near John Kyrle High School on Ledbury Road. Journeys towards Ross on Wye and Hereford will continue to stop inside the school grounds as usual.
Managing Director, Stagecoach West, Chris Hanson, said: “We have worked closely with Herefordshire Council and we’re delighted to be serving the residents of St Mary’s Garden Village and look forward to welcoming some new faces on board. The improvements will also make life easier and more convenient for students and staff at John Kyrle High School, which is a bonus.
“As with any service update, we urge those who frequently use the 33 to familiarise themselves with the new and improved timetable.”
Bus stops near the Camp Road/Gloucester Road junction will no longer form part of the Service 33 route but passengers are already well catered for at this point by an alternative bus provision.
