Bus route that comes onto Walton Hall campus to be renumbered

From the Sunday 7th January 2024, the Arriva bus route that comes onto site hourly is being renumbered to X4. And will no longer be number 150.

21st December 2023

Good news for bus users from 4 September

9/9A is going and being replaced by the hourly 150 which should give a much better service, both in terms of frequency and hours of operation, and also punctuality as we know the current solution has been problematic.

The F70/F77 diverting past the OU once a day in each direction will stay for the moment but will likely end in October as part of wider changes to those services at the Luton/Dunstable end of the route; the link from campus to Leighton Buzzard will continue to be provided by the 150.

Below is the new timetable and a link to the online timetable.
