It's easy by bus across the Wokingham borough with new guides
Bus travel just got even easier – with Wokingham Borough Council’s new and improved travel guide and route map. The Council has published a Spring 2008 edition of the ‘Public Transport Map and Guide’ which clearly shows all bus and train services in the borough, together with detailed plans of Wokingham, Woodley and Lower Earley and information on how frequently buses run.
A new Wokingham edition of the ‘Western Area Travel Guide’ has also been published, with full details of bus and train timetables and other useful information for the western areas of the borough. This guide has been expanded to include much of Earley as well as Arborfield, Shinfield and Swallowfield. It includes Reading Buses’ and Thames Travel’s new timetables, which started on February 25, and will improve some services through Lower Earley with increased frequencies and one extended route.
With the existing Wokingham Travel Guide and the Twyford and Woodley Travel Guide, the entire borough is now included in the council’s easy-to-use guides, making planning a journey by public transport much more convenient.
Executive member for Wokingham highways and transport Cllr Keith Baker said: “The new guides are great – really easy to use. Hopefully they will help make bus travel easier for local people and encourage some residents to leave the car at home and plan a journey by bus now and then. As a council we want to encourage people to use public transport but we also appreciate that it has to be made as convenient as possible if people are to make it a part of their busy lives.”
Both publications can be obtained from local Wokingham libraries and other information centres or by contacting the council’s transport planning team at transportplanning@wokingham.gov.uk or on (0118) 974 6472.
