Forthcoming bus timetable changes

Both Surrey County Council and bus operators pledge to limit the number of times services change. However, there may be times when last minute changes to services will occur. These changes could be a consequence of unforeseen circumstances, customer requirements or the need to address operational issues.

New timetables are added to this section as soon as they are available.

For information on bus services that have been affected by roadworks, please visit our temporary changes to bus services web page.

For advice on bus services during periods of bad weather, please visit our bus service disruption due to to bad weather web page.

31 May 2026

Stagecoach

1 (Gold) - Due to new electric buses being introduced on this route which are heavier than diesel buses, there are issues with the weight restriction on the bridge in Queen's Avenue in North Camp, Aldershot. Therefore the route is changing to avoid the bridge and it will divert via Lynchford Road, Farnborough Road and Alison's Road in both directions. The bus will no longer be able to serve stops at St Andrew’s Church, Prince’s Avenue, Hammersley Road, and Napier Gardens. There are no changes to the main timing points or the timetable within Surrey. Stagecoach are working with Hampshire County Council to address the weight issue with the hope to restore the service to its normal route.

166 - Additional journeys added on weekends between 27 June and 30 August 2026, and on Monday 31 August to cater for visitors to Mayfield Lavender Farm.
