Major improvements in Bracknell bus services to Wexham Park Hospital
Direct bus services between Bracknell town centre and Wexham Park Hospital are
more than tripling thanks to a joint scheme between Bracknell Forest Borough
Council and bus operator First.
From May, Bracknell bus service 53 will run every hour on weekdays - meaning there will be 13 journeys a day instead of the current four. A Saturday service is also being introduced which will run every two hours.
The route will run from Bracknell bus station to Wexham Park Hospital via Winkfield, Jeallots Hill and Maidenhead.
Passengers will still be able to travel to the hospital via Slough - those services are unchanged - but the improvements to the 53 service will mean more people can reach the hospital without the need to change buses.
Cllr Mrs Mary Ballin, Executive Member for Bracknell Planning and the Environment, said: These positive changes will make a huge difference to the accessibility of Wexham Park Hospital for patients and their visitors.
This is a result of partnership working between the Council and First which demonstrates a real commitment to improve accessibility to key services for people in the borough.”
Roger Cook, Transport Development Manager, said: Bracknell Forest residents can have great difficulty in getting to Wexham Park Hospital - particulary if they have to use the bus - because of the distance involved. Therefore we are delighted that it has been possible to make these improvements.”
