Public Transport

All Herefordshire Council's public transport information is now here. The address http://www.herefordbus.info/ is still in use but now directs you to this page. Bus timetables are available to view or download from the Bus Timetables section of the site and train timetables are now available in the form of links to the train operating companies' timetables on their own websites.

If you do not know which timetable you need to make your journey, or if you are travelling outside Herefordshire please use the links to the Journey Planning sites provided on the Bus Timetables page.

If you have any difficulty in getting the information you need from this site, or if you have any comments or suggestions on how it can be improved please contact the Public Transport Manager via the address details shown in the box on the right hand side of the page.

Bus Services

For the latest news on changes to bus and train services please go to the Public Transport News page.

For bus times please go to the Bus Timetables pages.

Most bus services, called “commercial” bus services are planned and provided by bus companies, which are responsible for the routes, times and fares charged. “Contracted” bus services are run by bus companies to service specifications set out by Herefordshire Council, which also pays the companies the difference between the operating cost and the income from fares on these services. Contracted services are only provided where no suitable commercial service exists.

The Council is also trying to make it easier for everyone to use public transport and over the last few years has invested over £4m in payments to bus operators to upgrade their services to operation by modern, low-floor, accessible buses.

The Council is also responsible for ensuring that information on bus services is available throughout its area. We do this by providing the information in a number of formats, including via this website.

We also operate a concessionary fares scheme that provides free bus travel for older people and those with disabilities.

Rail Services

For train times on services within Herefordshire please go to the Train Timetables page.

Rail services are the responsibility of central government, through the Department of Transport, which has franchised a number of Train Operating Companies to provide the service on its behalf.
