Buses on board with flexible Twyford returns
Passengers on buses between Twyford, Charvil, Sonning and Reading are set for a better deal after bus companies got on board with a Borough Council proposal to simplify bus travel.
Following a request from the council, bus companies Arriva The Shires and Reading Buses will from next week (June 4) accept each other’s return tickets on the 328 service (Arriva: Reading-Twyford-High Wycombe) and 126-129 services (Reading Buses: Reading-Twyford-Wokingham). Passengers will now be able to return on whichever service is the most convenient, regardless of which bus they bought their return ticket on.
Senior public transport planner Roland Clausen-Thue said: “I’m pleased that we have managed to reach this agreement with Arriva The Shires and Reading Buses. Customers will now have greater choice and flexibility in their travel, effectively offering a more frequent timetable.”
Cllr Keith Baker, executive member for Twyford highways and transport, said: “This really is a positive move by the bus companies at the suggestion of the Borough Council. This integration of different services leads to greater flexibility and passengers will now be able to travel at the time most convenient to them, irrespective of which company is running the service. I hope that many people will take advantage of this development.”
