Planned Service Changes

With service changes taking ages to come through the normal channels at the moment I am using other sources alongside the Gov uk site and N&P. As usual you can click through on the licence numbers to the route pages where the full route history with maps and timetables where available. The list is sorted by month (Latest month on top!) and then in route number order within each month. 

This page will show all route changes from September 2025 and will be updated as and when I get any updates. Some of these won't have been reported in the usual blog posts.

NEW: There is a full index of all service changes from January 2024 onwards click here
