Wiltshire Council is launching five new Wiltshire Connect bus services and making changes to the current bus network in the Pewsey Vale area.

The innovative new services, which will launch in phases over the coming months, include both on-demand and semi-flexible/timetabled buses, which can pick up and drop off passengers where they want to go, when they want to get there. The service will use brand new, accessible minibuses and ride bookings can be made with our new app or by calling our friendly booking team on 01225 712900.

The first Wiltshire Connect service to launch on 31 July will be the on-demand Pewsey Vale bus that covers an area west of Pewsey, from Pewsey to Devizes. This will be complemented by a revised 101 semi-flexible/timetabled service from Pewsey to Devizes, with a faster, more direct route compared to the current service.

Two further on-demand buses will then get under way over the coming months, with a service that covers Marlborough and the Great Bedwyn area on 4 September and we`ll be extending east of Marlborough as far as Hungerford later in the Autumn. In addition, we`ll also be introducing a new direct semi-flexible/timetabled route between Marlborough and Devizes.

Residents can find lots of information available about the new services and download the Wiltshire Connect app from our website at: www.wiltshireconnect.co.uk or by calling our friendly booking team on 01225 712900.
