Closure of Newbury Road (Great Shefford to East Garston) - extended
3 months ago
Route 4 will have a diversion in place from Monday 6 July between Great Shefford and Lambourn due to Newbury Road being closed for works. Buses will be unable to run between Great Shefford and East Garston. The work is being organised by Thames Water and has been extended - currently with no confirmed end date. Please keep checking back for updated information.
changes to times from Monday 5 October
From Monday 5 October there will be a minor change to the depature time of route 4C on schoolday mornings. The 4X will also depart slightly earlier in order to meet the 4C service. The timetables are updated below to show the changes.
diversion on shuttle
Works have advanced further up the road so the 4X shuttle has a slight diversion meaning it will take slightly longer to complete its journeys. However, it will still connect with the main route 4 service as before. The updated shuttle timetable is below.
During this period there will be a shuttle bus running between East Garston and Lambourn to connect customers to the normal service bus. The shuttle bus will continue to run during the works extension.
Diversion route
Both route 4 and 4C will run from Newbury to the Swan in Great Shefford (the 4C will only run to the Swan towards Newbury, not towards Lambourn) before turning around and using the 4A route to Lambourn via Hungerford Hill and the B4000 (Ermin St)

Lambourn/East Garston Shuttle
The 4X will be the shuttle between Lambourn and East Garston. Drivers of the service bus will wait for the shuttle to connect so you shouldn't have any issues getting on to the route 4 or 4C buses.
