We would like to sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers.
Due to the current heatwave and exceptionally high temperatures, we are experiencing some operational challenges across our network. The wellbeing and safety of both our passengers and drivers remain our highest priority. In some cases, drivers are unable to continue operating services safely in these extreme conditions.
As a result, some journeys may be delayed, curtailed, or unable to operate today. We are working hard to maintain as many services as possible and minimise disruption wherever we can.
We appreciate that this may affect your travel plans and apologise for the inconvenience. We thank you for your patience and understanding while these extreme weather conditions remain in place.
Please find more information on how to stay safe during the heatwave HERE

					<description><![CDATA[Kids Travel Free This August
From Saturday 1 August to Monday 31 August 2026, children aged 5–15 can travel free when accompanied by a fare-paying adult.
How the offer works

One fare-paying adult can bring up to three children (aged 5–15) free of charge.
If there is an additional child under 5, they can also travel free.
Children travelling without a fare-paying adult are not eligible for this offer. In this case, at least one child fare must be purchased for the group.

Before you travel
Simply board the bus as normal and let the driver know you're travelling using the Kids Travel Free offer.
We look forward to welcoming you on board this August!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As from Sunday 30th August routes 242 and 243 will be changing
Route 242 will no longer be extended from Potters Bar to Hatfield, to catch a bus over this section of route customers will need to transfer.
We do sincerely apologise for any negative impact this change will make.
The 242 was extended to Hatfield using Bus Service Improvement Plan funding, the extension has been reasonably successful but the increase in passengers has not offset the increase in cost without additional funding.  As a result the service has returned to operating as it was before.
The new timetables are attached and available to download HERE
A new timetable book will be available in due course.
Hertfordshire County Council will organise the changes to the roadside publicity and the electronic displays closer to the time.

					<description><![CDATA[There are no planned changes to the following routes – 341/641, 610, 625 and 843
242 Potters Bar and Waltham Cross
Following a reduction in the BSIP financial support from HCC, this service will now operate hourly between Potters Bar and Waltham Cross Monday to Saturday. This service is now operated under contract to HCC.
243 Hatfield, Potters Bar and Barnet
This route will provide the main service between Hatfield and Potters Bar. It continues to operate hourly Monday to Saturday. This service is operated commercially but is pump-primed, supported by BSIP funding.
602 Hatfield, St Albans, Radlett and Watford
This service reverts to operating half-hourly between Hatfield and Watford. The short workings will no longer operate between Hatfield and St Albans. We had generated 7% year-on-year passenger growth, but we were not able to cover the cost of operation, and given the current state of finances, we were not able to continue.
We were also going to withdraw the Sunday service; however, HCC have agreed to part-fund this so the timetable remains unchanged.
612 Luton, Harpenden and Hatfield
This school service will no longer operate. We have diverted the X10 to serve Oaklands College and this will hopefully cater for most journeys.
614 Hatfield, Barnet, Edgware and Queensbury (also 644)
There are some minor changes to timings but the vast majority of the timetable remains unaltered.
635 Hatfield, Garston, Watford and Watford General Hospital
The timetable for this service is due to be reduced to one bus operating broadly hourly, but it will continue to work around shift patterns at the Hospital. The service continues to operate just Monday to Friday.
690 The Shuttle serving Angerland Park and Ride
Reduced service from 21st-25th September, main service reinstated from Monday 28th September. Minor changes to the timetable.
X10 Luton, Harpenden, Oaklands and Hatfield
The timetable has been changed and will now operate every hour. Alongside the 610, we will provide 3 journeys per hour from Luton rather than 4. This change reflects the reduction in students travelling from Luton.
PB1 Potters Bar Local Service
This is a tendered route. We will no longer operate this route. HCC are currently seeking a new operator.
