Service Updates

A5120 Westoning closure

From 10th February until 28th February 2025, the B5120 will be closed in Westoning to faciltate water works. During this time service 42 will operate to a revised route and timetable. 

Buses will operate between Bedford and Flitwick Interchange and customers for Manor Way can remain on the bus.

Customers for Westoning, Harlington and Toddington will need to change bus in Flitwick Interchange, where a separate bus will operate between Flitwick and Toddington

Buses will wait for the incoming bus to allow customers to transfer. A small number of journeys will run through to Dunstable, please check the timetable for further information. 

We have worked with Central Bedfordshire Council to develop this revised service for the duration of the closure. We have applied with our regulator and submitted the required documentation.
