£1 bus routes across town

CHEAP £1 routes are being rolled out across the town after a successful trial.

From Monday, July 26, premier routes 22 and 24 will offer a £1 flat fare from Caversham Library to and from town for both adults and children.

Premier Route 23 will be £1 from Briants Avenue at the Star Inn to and from town.

Premier routes 9, 22 and 19 will all be £1 between the Royal Berkshire Hospital's south wing and the town centre.

The news follows a big upturn in both passengers and takings on the trial £1 routes covering Lower Caversham and Coley Park to the town centre, which have now been made permanent.

Routes 7 and 8 in Newbury and Greenham will also become £1 routes.

There will also be special offers on the buses for families during the school holidays.
