🎅🏻🎄CHRISTMAS TIMETABLE🎄🎅🏻

Here is the Christmas timetable: –

🎄Normal service up until the 23rd December

🎄Christmas Eve – Saturday service

🎄No service from 25th to the 29th

🎄30th to the 31st – Saturday service

🎄No service on the 1st January

🎄Normal service will resume on the 2nd (which is a Saturday)

We’re delighted that the full timetable will be restored from Monday 7th December, including all Saturday services and the 1715 from Chepstow to Monmouth

From Saturday 5th December 2020, the 65 bus will resume running on Saturdays. The Saturday timetable from Chepstow is available here. And the Saturday timetable from Monmouth is available here

The 1715 service from Chepstow remains suspended for the time being.

The 65 Bus is being featured in the Wye Valley River Festival. It’s part of the Films of Forest and Valley section. You can view the films at https://www.wyevalleyriverfestival.co.uk/films-of-the-forest-and-valley/ There are lots of interesting short films. The film about the 65 Bus is to be found on the top row

From 27th July, it will be mandatory to wear a 3 layer face covering when travelling on public transport in Wales – https://trc.cymru/face-coverings

From 26th May until at least 12th June there are 5 way temporary traffic lights in Chepstow.  This has been causing severe delays to the 65 bus service and Monmouthshire County Council have therefore decided to re-route the bus for this period as follows:

• From Chepstow bus station the 65 will go via Mounton Road.  This will mean only missing the BP Bus stop ( A48 Newport Road )

We’re pleased to confirm that the 65 bus service is continuing, despite the current difficult circumstances.  The bus is running to its usual timetable WITH THE EXCEPTION OF the 1715 service from Chepstow to Monmouth and all Saturday services, which are temporarily suspended.

We are very grateful to Monmouthshire County Council for recognising the value of this service for essential travel to and from work and the shops. We also owe a great debt of thanks to all the drivers for keeping this service going.

We will update the website whenever there are any changes that affect the service.

In January 2020 we undertook a survey to gain a better understanding of why and when people use the 65 bus. Here are the results: –
