9049 Branston School Bus Update.

Due to the road closure in Potterhanworth we will be splitting the 9049 into two separate vehicles. Due to some miss information received about the location of the exact closure we had originally planned to serve all bus stops in Potterhanworth, however this has now been corrected to the below arrangments.

In a morning going to school.
Nocton bus stops and times are not affected, Potterhanworth will only be served at the Queensway Bus stop on Moor Lane. The bus leaves this stop at 0835.

In the afternoon going home.
Again the buses will be split. Each bus will ONLY GO TO ONE VILLAGE, either Nocton or Potterhanworth so make sure you check with the driver that you are on the correct bus as both buses will have 9049 displayed on them.
