A NUMBER of bus service timetables in Pembrokeshire will be changing over the next few months.

The new timetables have come about as a result of customer feedback and travel patterns.

“The changes are designed to help improve punctuality on these routes and improve the running of the service overall,” said Cllr Phil Baker, Cabinet Member for Transport and Infrastructure.

The new timetables will be available on Pembrokeshire County Council’s website a few days before they come into force, at pembrokeshire.gov.uk/transport

Printed copies of individual timetables will also be available from the Council’s local library and information centres, customer service centres, and bus operators.

Due to on-going service changes, the County bus timetable booklet will no longer be printed. However, it is hoped that the Coastal bus timetable booklet will be printed later in the spring.

The bus services subject to change are as follows:

From April 3.

· 301 (Haverfordwest Town Service) – This will change to an hourly service operating one large loop around the town and it will now serve Augustine Way.

· 302 (Haverfordwest to Milford Haven) – Timings have been amended slightly.
