Recent changes to bus services for Wolvey means that bus service 75 has been withdrawn and, with it, the link from Wolvey to Bulkington. The justification for this was that the service was only used by a small number of people. However, Wolvey Parish Council believed this could potentially cause real difficulties for those Wolvey residents who rely on the facilities in Bulkington. As a result, the Parish Council began discussions with Transport department at Warwickshire County Council.

We are now pleased to report that A & M will include a transport link between Wolvey and Bulkington on both Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

This will also give Wolvey residents a new Tuesday Flexibus 213 to Bedworth (via Bulkington) on market day. The bus will leave Wolvey Square at 0948. The return bus will leave Bedworth at 1244.

Flexibus 241 on Wednesdays to Nuneaton will leave Wolvey Heath at 0950 and Wolvey Square at 0955 and will also provide an additional link to Bulkington. It returns from Nuneaton at 1335.

There will continue to be Flexibuses to Hinckley on Mondays (although minor changes have been made to this route) and to Rugby on Tuesdays.

There is also a hospital car scheme available to take Wolvey residents to/from local hospitals.

Anybody interested in the scheme should contact the Rugby volunteer centre on 01788 561293 between 0930 and 1300 on Mondays to Fridays. The journey needs to be booked in advance with as much notice as possible.

Because of the limited budget available for transport at Warwickshire County Council, future subsidies can only continue for services that are really needed.

So, if you want to keep bus services for Wolvey they need to be regularly used.

Please support these as much as you can!

The new timetables will be introduced with effect from Monday 24th October
