Gas main replacement returns to Stone!
From where they left off last time, at the Bishopstone Road junction [“the Crossroads”] through to the roundabout at St Johns Drive.
From 9th August until 4th October.
Two way single lane temporary lights control so delays expected!
Any female customer wearing a Burka or Yashmak can hold a valid photo-card or bus pass that shows the face either covered or uncovered.
Under no circumstances should a female customer be asked to uncover her face, or be refused travel, when holding a valid ticket with such a photo-card.
Should customers board our services or make purchases at travel offices wearing a Burka or Yashmak, then please sell them the ticket they request to purchase, without insisting that they uncover their face to prove, for example, their age or identity for discounted travel.
I take this opportunity to thank you for your co-operation in ensuring that this procedure is carried out during the course of your duties.

Please note the use of a temporary location for the main bus stop at Headington Shops, Oxford bound, will now commence from first bus on Friday morning, 23rd July until further notice [expected to be at least two weeks].
The temporary bus stop will be the in the first lay-by after Stile Road before the main junction at Headington – note the second lay-by nearest the lights is for the coaches.
Thus as it is before the current stop please make drivers aware!
The bus lane in Exchange Street, Aylesbury is to be suspended from Monday 9 August 2010 until further notice, possibly 2/3 months. This is to allow for carriageway widening, utility diversions, and the construction of a new pedestrian crossing.
During this closure the three eastbound bus stops will also be suspended with passengers advised to catch their buses from the bus station or the High Street..
There will also be 20 night closures from 2000 to 0600 when services will need to divert away from Exchange Street. Dates for the night closures will be advised when known.

From Monday 19th July for a couple of weeks or so, the bus stop going TOWARDS Oxford at Headington Shops is to be closed whilst that part of the area is refurbished/modernised . A temporary stop is to be sited before the crossroads, just after the supermarket, between Stile Road and Holyoake Road, using proper bus stop poles and flags so our driver s need to be vigilant on approaching the area to see what is happening.
One thing to note is that just past our temporary stop is another new stop – but this is for the coach service sand is there new permanent stop as in future when the work is completed they will have their own stops at Headington
Due to further requests regarding the new conditions of carriage
Here is a quick link to them
There is to be a firework display next Friday, 16th July, in Central Milton Keynes. There will be road closures and restrictions in place from 1800.
Buses towards MK centre will be unaffected.
It would appear that the last 150 to depart CMK at 1820 should also be unaffected.
However on service 100, the last two departures at 1845 and 1945 will not be able to access Marlborough Gate so will need to divert as follows:-
From the main pick up point at H3, turn left at the lights into Secklow Gate and continue straight across at the next lights turning left onto Portway at the next roundabout and onto line of route. This means stop D3 by the Food Centre will not be served.
