Still confused about the bus service?
Posted by Julie Tomlin on Feb 06 2012CountyConnect is a new type of bus service that you can use for any reason you need to travel. It goes where and when you want within the designated areas.
The specially designed buses are easy to see and offer easy access allowing wheelchairs on board and there is plenty of space for shopping and luggage. The buses are fitted with seat belts for passenger safety.
County Connect will take you to or from any designated pick-up point to any other in each village or town. You can go from village to village as well as to Banbury.
There is no fixed timetable as it changes every day, so you need to pre-book. The bus cannot pick you up without a booking. You can phone, email or text the dedicated booking team. Bookings can be made up to an hour before you need to travel (subject to availability) and up to a week in advance. It is ‘first come first served’, so the more notice you give, the more likely you are to get your requested booking.
Fares are charged based on the distance travelled, like any other bus service. Your concessionary travel pass will also be valid after 9.30am on Monday to Friday and all day Saturdays.
Bookings will depend on availability.
The Banbury CountyConnect bus service provides journeys direct to Banbury all day Monday to Saturday. (Between 7am-7pm Monday to Friday and 8am-6pm Saturday).
As well as the town centre, it also serves the Hospital, Railway Station, Morrisons, Tesco and Sainsbury`s Superstores as well as the Office Village in the north of Banbury.
