New bus ‘will help cut delays’ on busy route
A new bus that has been added to a route through Hemel Hempstead is expected to reduce the number of delays for people using it.
It was bought by Herts County Council for the 300 and 301 service and will be funded by the group for a year as part of a drive to cut CO2 emissions and boost growth.
Paul Adcock, managing director of Arriva, said “The new bus has been added to the schedule to offer improved reliability and punctuality for this service.
“In the past the service has suffered from delays as it passes through many of the county’s busy town centres.”
He hopes the new timetable and bus will improve the service and encourage more people to travel by bus instead of car.
The 300 and 301 route passes through Stevenage, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and St Albans – with buses stopping at up to once every 15 minutes.
