Maidenhead & Windsor

It's all change for passengers using Arriva bus route 317 between Maidenhead and High Wycombe via Bourne End and Cookham, with both route and timetable alterations taking effect from next Monday (January 30).

The service to and from Maidenhead will continue to be hourly, but the times will be more regular, with buses leaving both Maidenhead (Bridge Avenue) and High Wycombe bus station at 45 minutes past each hour. Extra buses will continue to provide a half-hourly service between High Wycombe and Bourne End.

There will be an additional early morning bus from Monday to Friday, arriving in Maidenhead at 7.05am and leaving at 7.15am. Saturday's early morning bus will arrive in Maidenhead at 7.35am and leave again ten minutes later.

The time change is designed to improve the efficiency of connections at High Wycombe to a range of destinations including Amersham, Princes Risborough and Aylesbury.

In response to passengers' requests for a pick-up point near Maidenhead railway station, the 317 will now stop in Grenfell Road and also Frascati Way (opposite the market) on its journey from Maidenhead to High Wycombe.

The route into Maidenhead will not be changed, with buses continuing to set down in St Cloud Way (outside the leisure centre) and at Bridge Avenue.
