Service Changes from 30th August 2026
1 month ago
From Sunday 30th August, we will be making a number of changes to our services in the Witney and Vale of White Horse areas to improve reliability and overall punctuality. We’ll also be making improvements to our X9 service, with an enhanced frequency between Witney and Chipping Norton.
Service H2 | Carterton - Witney - JR Hospital - Thornhill Park&Ride
Revised timetable to improve reliability and punctuality.
Service 19 | Witney - Standlake - Bampton - Carterton
From 30th August, operation of Service 19 will transfer from Pulhams to Thames Travel. A revised timetable will be introduced to improve punctuality.
Service 64 | Witney - Carterton - Lechlade - Highworth - Swindon
Revised timetable to improve punctuality. Operation of the service will transfer from Pulhams to Thames Travel.
Service 67 | Wantage - Stanford-in-the-Vale - Faringdon
Revised timetable to improve punctuality. Operation of the service will transfer from Pulhams to Thames Travel.
Service 68 | Wantage - Letcombe Regis - Childrey - Uffington - Faringdon
Revised timetable to improve punctuality. To simplify the route, and allow the use of higher capacity vehicles, buses will no longer serve Sarajac Avenue in East Challow. All journeys will instead operate via Ickleton Road between Wantage and Letcombe Regis. From the same date, operation of the service will transfer from Pulhams to Thames Travel.
Update (26/08/2026): Following discussions with Oxfordshire County Council, the timetable has been amended to include school day journeys to King Alfred's School West. Please view the updated timetable below.

Service X9 | Witney - Charlbury - Chipping Norton
In partnership with Oxfordshire County Council, we are introducing an improved timetable, with buses operating hourly, seven days a week between Witney and Chipping Norton. Operation of the service will transfer from Pulhams to Thames Travel.
Due to ongoing delays caused by the diversion between Charlbury and Finstock, a temporary timetable will be in place from 30th August to 8th September. This revised timetable has been designed to improve reliability while the diversion remains in effect.
