PUBLICITY NEWS
There
have been five new service change leaflets from London Buses since this section last appeared. In date order, the
first is: U7, Extended to Hayes Sainsbury’s, Starting Saturday 4 July 2009. This has a standard slimline blue cover
with a drawing of an Enviro200 single-decker. There is a map showing the
revised route in purple and the abandoned stretch of route along Uxbridge Road
in green. There is a full panel timetable and a route grid. The second leaflet
is an A5 flyer: New buses and a weekend service for route 507, Starting on Saturday 25 July 2009. The front carries some
explanatory text, without any reference to Red Arrow branding. Overleaf is a
map of the route, times of first and last buses and a drawing of a standard
Citaro single-decker. The third
leaflet is: S3, Route S3 extended to
Malden Manor, Starting Saturday 1 August 2009. This has a standard slimline
blue cover with the same generic drawing of an Enviro200 as on the U7 leaflet,
although neither route is operated by that type. There is a map inside showing
the route in crimson, with much of the route, particularly west of Sutton,
shown as hail & ride sections. There is a full panel timetable and a route
grid.
Two
further leaflets have appeared in early September. The first is an A5 flyer:
New buses for route 521, Starting
Tuesday 1 September 2009. This is similar to the leaflet for the 507 except
that the bus drawing is carried on the front rather than overleaf, where the
map occupies more space, given that the 521 is a longer route. Like that for
the 507, this is a fully detailed traditional bus route map, which even shows
the separate set down and pick up points for the 521 at Waterloo. The latest
leaflet is: 395, 398 Introducing new
route 395 and changes to route 398, Starting Saturday 5 September 2009. This
has a standard blue slimline cover with a drawing of an Enviro200 single-decker
in red livery. Inside is a full set of features. We thus not only have some
explanatory narrative, a table of first and last buses and a route grid for
both routes, but also a route map and full matrix timetables for both routes.
The map shows the 395 route by a blue line and the 398 in red. These show the minor changes to
proposed routeings at Northolt Station (395) and at Wood End Estate (398) from
what had been intended.
London
Buses also has several new bus station
spider maps. North Greenwich Bus Station is dated June while Golders Green,
Kingston, Liverpool Street, Uxbridge, Victoria and West Croydon are each dated
July. These maps are little changed from the previous issues, which date from
between last December and March. A
point of interest is that the new night bus section of the 65 route south of
Kingston is treated as a night bus route, like the N87 route on the same map.
The latest spider map is for a new location. Your guide to bus services from
Crystal Palace is dated August 2009 and introduces a new cover colour of
yellow. The cover design is otherwise unchanged showing a stylised drawing of
buses at a road junction with a large lower case letter I (the symbol for
information) superimposed on the cross-roads. Inside is a spider map and a
local area map which usefully extends to the National Sports Centre and the
Athletics Stadium within Crystal Palace Park. TfL are to be congratulated on
recognising that Crystal Palace is a major bus interchange which merits the
publication of a spider map. Including night buses and the one mobility route
(931), there are eighteen routes fanning out from this location, reaching as
far as Plumstead and Orpington in the east, Morden and Clapham Common in the
west and Oxford Circus and King’s Cross to the north. While this latest map
brings the total of bus station spider maps to around thirty, plus another
thirty or more hospital spider maps, there are some 900 such spider maps
available on the TfL website, many of which also appear in display format.
A consultative exercise (for route G1)
has been conducted by London Buses. An A4 map was sent with a covering letter to the main local
stakeholders, seeking views by 21 August. This map is also available on the TfL
website for local residents to download. Under a red ‘Have your say’ masthead,
this is headed: Under consideration, Possible changes to bus route G1. The map
shows the existing route in pink, with the sections proposed for abandonment in
orange and optional new sections in blue.
This
year’s leaflet for the Notting Hill
Carnival has the same cover design as in 2008, with a picture of a young lady
sporting a multi-colour exotic hair style. The only difference is that the date
on her T-shirt has been changed from 24-25 to this year’s 30-31 August. The rest of the slimline is also much
the same, but with a tiny NHC2009 code on the back cover. The map inside has
been updated to show the routes which now serve the Westfield Shopping Centre,
while the 295, which last year was diverted via North Pole Road to reach St
Mark’s Road has been trimmed back closer to Scrubs Lane.
There
is a new issue of the leaflet for the East
London Transit scheme, last reported in TLB532. A slimline with a red cover
with the strapline ‘Second phase’ appeared in July. Although undated, the text
refers to the first phase between Ilford and Barking as already under construction,
with services to begin in spring 2010. There are two maps of the second phase
to serve the new Barking Riverside development. These maps show planned
modifications to River Road, Thames Road and Creek Road (on the current 387 bus
route) on which work is scheduled to begin late in 2010, with services starting
in 2013.
There
is a new edition dated July of the Step-free
Tube guide, the small format (75x150mm) folded map with a yellow cover.
This replaces the first edition dated January 2009. It looks much the same as
the previous issue, but there is an extra fold to accommodate narrative
information for additional accessible stations. The Tube diagram inside is
modified to show, by a range of symbols, where passengers can get between the
platform and street, or change between lines, step-free. Alongside this guide,
there is a new issue of the Do you need help getting around? slimline, which
has an August 2009 date on the back. Like the original from last December, this
has a yellow cover. It lists the various large print, audio and online guides
to assist older and disabled people use public transport in London.
There
is also a new edition of the Tube Toilet
map showing which stations have male, female and accessible toilets for
wheelchair users, whether they are inside or outside the ticket gates, and
whether they have baby changing facilities. Again this map is only available on
the website. Like the original, which appeared in January, the new edition is
undated, but the accompanying ‘Toilet facilities, Useful information’ sheet, is
dated July. It has been reported that there was another issue of this map in
March, but given the ephemeral nature of items on the website, we can no longer
see that. Compared with the January version, the latest map shows some
additional stations with toilets, either on the station or nearby.
There is a new June 2009 edition of the walking map for the Bond Street area. The latest map is folded inside a card folder of just 70x108mm. The cover, which carries Mayor of London and TfL branding, has a yellow masthead reading Legible London, beneath which is the title, A new way of walking in the Capital. Inside is one of the new style street maps found in CYJs at Marble Arch, Bond Street and Oxford Circus. This has a grey background, with the major buildings marked in yellow and with the largest of them (eg Selfridge’s, John Lewis, Claridge’s) embellished by drawings of their frontages. Tube stations and bus stops are marked, with bus stops for the 8 route in New Bond Street and Davies Street still shown, despite its withdrawal from these streets from 27 June. The previous undated issue of this Legible London map, Walking the West End, was reported in TLB537. Transforming
Tottenham Court Road is the title on an A4 leaflet published jointly by London Underground and Crossrail. The
headline on this item, which is probably the first of a series of news
bulletins, reads: Crossrail Visitor Centre - now open! There is a cover picture
of the visitor centre, which is open 12.00 to 20.00 every Tuesday and Thursday.
The leaflet, dated Summer 2009, describes the work now under way at Tottenham
Court Road, as well as the work now started on the diagonal pedestrian
crossings at Oxford Circus.
There
are still more new issues of Continuing
your journey (CYJ) maps available at London Underground stations. These all
have bus stop maps with a yellow background on the front page. Some of the
latest issues, nine of those with 06.09 date codes, and both those with an
07.09 code have lost the grey tint behind the destinations in the bus route
lists below these bus stop maps. In date order, the latest arrivals are: with
an 11.08 code: Caledonian Road; then Chalk Farm, Walthamstow Central, West
Kensington with 04.09 codes; Angel, Becontree, Belsize Park, Bermondsey,
Blackhorse Road, Canons Park, Colindale, East Putney, Finchley Central,
Finsbury Park, Harrow-on-the-Hill, Hornchurch, Moorgate, Newbury Park, Oakwood,
Osterley, Oval, Pinner, Preston Road, Snaresbrook, Sudbury Town, Turnpike Lane,
Upminster Bridge, Upney, Upton Park, West Finchley, West Harrow, Woodford.
With
05.09 codes: Bank, Bethnal Green,
Bond Street, Bow Road, Camden Town, Chancery Lane, Great Portland Street and
Regent's Park, Green Park, Holborn, Hounslow Central, Hyde Park Corner,
Kennington, Kentish Town, Leytonstone, Liverpool Street, Oxford Circus,
Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's, Stratford, Tottenham Court Road, Victoria, with
06.09 codes, and finally Tower Hill, Waterloo with 07.09 codes. There is also a
new LAM (local area map) for Watford with an 04.09 code. Notable among these new arrivals is
Bond Street, which joins Marble Arch and Oxford Circus in having a
semi-pictorial street map inside.
However, the most keenly awaited CYJ we have to
report this time is Cockfosters, which has an 01.07 code and a white bus stop
map on the front. Its significance is that it has appeared in the publicity
slots at the last remaining Underground station to receive a CYJ in the current
series. This statement needs some qualification. CYJs do not feature at 21
stations served by London Underground. The rule appears to be that CYJs are not
produced for stations served by National Rail or London Overground trains
unless there are separate London Underground ticket barriers, or unless the
station is operated by LU. Therefore we see CYJs at places like Finsbury Park,
Harrow-on-the-Hill, Stratford and West Ham but not at Barking, Ealing Broadway,
Kensington (Olympia), Upminster, Wimbledon, stations on the Richmond branch or
on the Bakerloo from Queen's Park northwards. Nor are they published for the
three stations at Heathrow. All told, CYJs are currently published for 230
Underground stations, although because of some combined issues for neighbouring
stations, there are only 224 different CYJs. In addition, another fifteen
stations outside Greater London have LAMs (local area maps) without bus stop
maps on the front. Within the total of 230 the two separate stations at Edgware
Road, Elephant & Castle, Hammersmith and Paddington each count as only one,
while the closed Blackfriars is excluded along with the stations on the East
London line no longer served by Underground trains. Of these 224 CYJs, 23 still
have the older style bus stop maps with white backgrounds, while Covent Garden,
with no nearby bus routes, has no bus stop map, but has some bus stops shown on
the street map inside.
For anyone pondering the inclusion of so much detail on items apparently aimed at rail services, we should explain that CYJs and LAMs contain no information on Underground services other than marking the location of the station entrances on both the bus stop and street maps. CYJs are updated regularly for the benefit of the bus services, and those members who monitor such matters will have noticed that new CYJs have recently appeared at stations along the length of the 8 and C2 routes to reflect the revised destinations of these two routes. A
new issue of TfL’s slimline booklet Travel
discounts, for children, teenagers and students is dated April 2009. This
has the same green cover as the previous issue dated 1 September 2008. Also
reissued just in time for the start of term are two other slimlines with green
covers, both dated From 1 September 2009. The first is Free travel on buses and trams with ZIP from Oyster, Age 11
– 15. The second leaflet is Get fantastic travel discounts with ZIP from
Oyster, Age 16+. Both items replace similar leaflets from September 2008.
‘Pop
will eat itself’ is the title of an Art
on the Underground leaflet promoting an exhibition of contemporary art at
Piccadilly Underground station from June to September. A second leaflet is
titled Impossible Buildings, Interpreting Place. This opens out to reveal a
poster of drawings inspired by the walk between Southwark Underground station
and Tate Modern. Street Smart is the title on a green and white slimline
promoting a play experience for families at the London Transport Museum from 25 July to 31 August.
Getting
to us by bus, Bus timetable from Monday 5th January 2009, is the title of a
slimline in corporate style from Tesco,
Kennington Lane, Kennington. Inside
is a spider map (in Tesco, not TfL style) showing all the bus routes serving
Vauxhall Bus Station. Overleaf is a route list and frequency guide. Curiously,
this guide ignores the 3, 59 and 159 routes along Kennington Road, which run
closer to the store than the buses at Vauxhall.
Further
reprints of TfL’s cycling maps have
been identified. All these have either 02.09 or 03.09 print codes, in place of
the original 06.07 codes. The latest examples are the Local Cycling Guide for
areas 4, 5, 6, 10, 11 and 12. As
explained in TLB536, these new issues are almost identical to the 2007
editions, apart from gaining a message from Boris Johnson. The Tour of Britain, the TfL London Stage
Saturday 19 September 2009, is the heading on a slimline with a drawing of a
cyclist on the cover. Inside is a map of the Circuit Race route from
Westminster to Tower Hill, showing every Underground and Rail station around
the area.
Summer
by London Overground is a slimline
promotional booklet suggesting ideas for days out which can be reached from LO
stations. There is a deckchair on the cover and a fold-out LO network diagram.
A tiny 0609 code gives the issue date.
Some
recent items from DLR merit a
mention. Under the ‘Building a better railway’ banner, an A5 flyer announces
that a new ‘flyunder’ comes into service on 24 August. This enables weekday
peak hour trains from Bank towards Lewisham to bypass West India Quay station.
A new timetable came into effect from the same date. There is a new issue of
the slimline ‘A guide to using Docklands Light Railway’ dated August. This is
similar to previous issues of this guide, but has restored the table of first
and last train times (Monday to Friday) which was omitted from the last edition
in March. It is therefore the first printed table of these times since the
opening of the line to Woolwich Arsenal. Another A5 notice lists planned works
and closures until the end of October. These will continue, although
three-carriage services will operate on DLR between Bank and Lewisham from
early next year. The new line from Canning Town to Stratford International will
open in summer 2010.
Those
awaiting a copy of the current season’s National Rail London Connections map have so far been disappointed. In the normal
course of events, the new map would have appeared about the same time as the
new National Rail timetable started in May. The latest promise is that copies
of this map will become available during September, but we offer no guarantee
that this target will be met. However, in recent weeks, display copies of the
London side of the new map have been posted at a few locations. Dated 17th May
2009, this is little changed from the previous issue from last December. As
might be expected a few aspects have been updated. The DLR line to Woolwich
Arsenal is now shown as open. Imperial Wharf station between West Brompton and
Clapham Junction has been added (or more precisely restored) to the map and
labelled as opening in late 2009 when it will be served by both LO and
Southern. [It is now expected that
Imperial Wharf will open from 27 September – Ed.]. The First Capital
Connect branch to Moorgate has been deleted.

Moving
outside London, Arriva the Shires has ventured into new territory with a smart promotional slimline leaflet for
St Albans. Under a lime green masthead labelled Green Line 712, this is titled
London to St Albans, Enjoy a great day out in St Albans, History, culture and
fun for all. There are drawings of three Roman soldiers, although one has
substituted a baseball cap for his helmet and another has a camera and is
wearing an ‘I love St Albans’ T-shirt. Inside is an impressive glossy brochure
extolling the attractions of the historic city of St Albans. A street map of the city shows Green
Line routes 712 and 724 together with local bus routes 300 and 301. A red label
on the cover shows a £5 return fare as an introductory offer till 30/09/09. For
potential passengers in the opposite direction, there is an A5 folder ‘Have you
tried the new Green Line service to London yet?’ The cover suggests
Sightseeing, Shopping and Commuting as reasons for using this service. There is
a route map inside. Another 712 item is a slimline slip showing how the 712
route connects with the Underground network.
The
MK Metro subsidiary of Arriva continues with its distinctive style of leaflets, with a red cover A5
for routes 12/2E from 21 June, but cross-country route 33 to Northampton is
marketed as an Arriva service with a standard hazel green A5 from 22 June. A
pale green A5 for Great Days Out from the Milton Keynes area 2009 includes
across its centre fold a spider map diagram of MK Metro and Arriva routes
serving Milton Keynes, Wolverton and Bletchley. A slimline with a yellow cover
promotes the 5 for a fiver day ticket in Buckinghamshire. In the Know, the newsletter from Arriva
at Hemel Hempstead has a Summer 2009 issue. This A5 leaflet has new buses for
route 300/301 as the lead story.
The
Arriva website, which has been redesigned in recent weeks, now offers route
maps and local street maps of Green Line services 712, 757, 758 and 797. There
is also a revised Green Line website from which a Green Line network diagram can be downloaded. Dated 8.6.09 this
diagram, which includes a frequency guide, also shows First Group 701/702 route
to Windsor and Bracknell, as well as Arriva 510 bus route which connects with
724 route at Harlow onto Stansted Airport. It is to be hoped that this diagram
might appear in printed form, as the last comprehensive Green Line map was
published by TfL as long ago as 2004.
Standard
leaflets in the new hazel green A5 style are for 261 (Aylesbury, Oxford) from
20 July, and a batch for Luton from 1 September: 9, 23/27, 24/25 including
college service 26 and Sunday 21. As is customary with Arriva’s publicity, the
fact that the evening services on 24/27/29 (see TLB540 paage16) are now worked
by other operators is not mentioned and their journeys are not shown. .
Sister
company Arriva Southern Counties has
further A5 leaflets in the new hazel green style. These are for Dartford 455
from 31 May, Buses to school with Arriva for schools at Wilmington (routes 414,
423, 424 and 485) from 15 June, Horsham 51/61/62 from 27 July, Gravesend
495/498/499 from 9 August and the customary one (but now in the hazel green)
for the August Bank Holiday service variations. Calling all bus users, Buy, receive and use your bus ticket
via your mobile, is the self-explanatory title of an A5 handbill. This invites
passengers in Kent and Medway to purchase m-tickets via their mobile phones,
which they then show to the driver on the mobile’s screen. There are also new
issues of the A5s for Fastrack route A and B dated 31 May, which are otherwise
identical to the previous issues from last August and September, with cover
photos of the Fastrack vehicles.
Centrebus has three
new A5 route leaflets. That for the 46 dated 29/06/09 inside is similar to the
recent April issue, but the four Plaxton Centros (which are not relevant to
this route) have been deleted from the happy couple and child cover. The
Centrebus name is now suffixed by ‘Herts & Beds’, with the strapline, Your
local bus service provider. A second leaflet, at eight pages about the bulkiest
seen from this operator, is for routes 366, 365, 866. This shares the same
cover design with the 46 leaflet, even to listing the same place-names on the
cover, including Hemel Hempstead. The timetables inside, dated 29th June, have
headings which correctly list the route as Dunstable, Luton, Hatfield. The
third item, for route X31, is similar to the 366 and is also dated 29th June
with eight pages. This time, the destinations listed on the cover are correct.
There are three boxes starting Luton, followed by Toddington, Milton Keynes and
Hemel Hempstead.
The
slimline for the Excel Airport by
Coach service X3 from south Essex to Stansted Airport was reported in TLB538. A
similar leaflet, again with a blue cover, for Excel’s X11 Airport by Coach
service direct to Gatwick Airport from Chatham, Gillingham, Hempstead,
Maidstone, Sevenoaks is dated 1 June 2009. Within the LOTS area this service
picks up in Borough Green, Sevenoaks, and Godstone. There are ‘where to get on
& off’ coach stop maps inside for the major points.
First in the Thames Valley has a new
issue of the slimline booklet for the RailAir service from Reading to Heathrow.
Dated June, this shares a similar cover picture with the recent Slough &
Windsor bus timetable book. There is also a new edition of the Bracknell bus information
slimline timetable book dated 29 August. Both items have the modified cover
design introduced with the Slough and Windsor book in May.
As
trailed in TLB539, we can report a new timetable book from Metrobus of Crawley. This is titled West Sussex Bus Times, which is
an A5 glossy with fifty six pages. It is dated as Valid from 25th July 2009 and
has a cover picture of Horsham with an inset of Godstone village pond. The book is in the same attractive format
as before, but has gained an improved Crawley and Horley Bus Network map in
something resembling London style, with all the bus roads named and colour
coded. There are also town centre maps for Crawley, Horsham, East Grinstead and
Haywards Heath. Metrobus also has an A5 leaflet with a navy blue cover for
improved route 7 from 25 July. There is another vintage style route leaflet. With a straw coloured
slimline cover and a sepia tinted photo of Croydon clock tower this is titled:
Time to enjoy the arts, history and culture on Route 409. This is issue 1 dated
July 2009. As well as a timetable and route map, there are descriptions inside
of attractions such as the Caterham Seven sports car showroom at Caterham,
Sackville College at East Grinstead and the Whitgift Almshouses in Croydon.
Metroline has a new
issue of its combined Bus Times slimline for routes 84 and 242. This is dated
‘From 5 September 2009’ and is almost identical to the previous issue dated 30
March, with a cover photo of one of the 08 registered DEL class AD Enviro200
single-deckers.
The National Express dot2dot pre-booked
minicoach service between central London hotels and Heathrow Airport terminals
was sold to Corot plc in January. A slimline for the new operator has now been
seen. This red and white flyer dated February offers the Heathrow to London
service for £19 or less, while London to Gatwick and Heathrow to Gatwick
transfers are also available, the latter a new venture since the Corot
takeover. .
Oxford Bus Company has reissued
its slimline leaflet for the airline service from Oxford to Heathrow and Gatwick. This is dated 14 June to 26
September 2009. This has a largely blue slimline cover. Their rivals, Oxford Tube have a new slimline for their London to Oxford service
dated 26 July 2009. The cherry red cover carries a small drawing of the new
Astromega double deck coaches now appearing on the service. These imposing
vehicles have three axles and two staircases, reminding older readers of
Bournemouth trolleybuses perhaps. But with air-con, wi-fi, power sockets,
reclining seats and on board toilets, they are streets ahead of the old
trolleys.
Bus
Times, Full details of your local bus services operated by Southdown PSV is the title of a multi-colour glossy 16 page A5
booklet dated 29 August 2009. It seems that competition in this area is good
for bus timetable standards. Metrobus are renowned for their high production
values. TLB539 reported on the smart glossy timetable published in April by
Compass Bus. This latest Southdown book goes one better by employing colour on
every page. These pages provide full timetables of all the company’s services,
plus a route diagram and a town plan (Surrey CC style) of Oxted &
Limpsfield. The company also has a full colour A5 handbill for route GF1. This
is headed: Day trip to Godstone Farm from the Crawley, Horley and Redhill
areas. This school holidays route ran Mondays to Fridays from 27th July to 28th
August.
Woottens (Tiger Line) has a
slimline for new route T2, Chesham, Hemel Hempstead, Watford, which has a
yellow corner flash: Launches 17th August 2009. This has a similar cover to the
T1 route, except that a photo of Watford has been imported, replacing that of
Hemel church.
In
the local authority sector, East Sussex has redesigned its area bus timetable leaflets. In place of the generic drawing
of a Solo in a rural setting on the slimline covers, we now have specific
photos of local landmarks in each area. These multi-fold leaflets have gained extra folds, partly because of
employing a larger typeface for the timetables inside, but also because they
have gained coloured string FWT town bus maps, similar to those in the last
countywide bus map, dated November 2007. As before, timetables are only
included for council contract Rider services, with just a simple list of
commercial services, although all routes are shown on the maps. The one area
which includes a route into LOTS territory, Heathfield, Uckfield &
Crowborough, has now lost Crowborough to a separate area. The new Bus Timetable
Heathfield & Uckfield Area is dated as Valid from 27th July 2009. It has an
attractive cover photo of Uckfield’s Picture House dating from 1916. It
includes a timetable for route 261 to Forest Row and East Grinstead, now
operated by Countryliner in place of Eastbourne Buses.
The
new Bus Timetables for Essex book
dated June has arrived. It is in the same weighty telephone directory A4 format
as before, with a useful ‘principal bus routes’ county map to supplement the
town maps. This book was produced before the end of Stansted Transit, but
recent examples of Essex slimline route leaflets reflect the changes this
closure has brought. One for Village Link 5 Saffron Walden and Bishops
Stortford dated 2 November 2008 shows Stansted Transit as the operator,
possibly the last time this name appeared on an ECC leaflet. Although a little
outside the LOTS area, an example of a replacement for a former Stansted
Transit route is 17 Great Bardfield to Saffron Walden dated 5 July 2009, with
First as the new operator. Another slimline, this time for a route that passes
into Herts, is 444/445 Barley, Chrishall, Saffron Walden dated 15 June 2009,
which is operated by Viceroy of Essex.
Hertfordshire has three new
Travel Guide timetable books. The first of these is for area 1, Watford, Bushey
& Rickmansworth, dated July 2009. The others are for area 2 Hemel
Hempstead, Berkhamsted & Tring, and for area 5 Stevenage, Hitchin,
Letchworth & Baldock, both dated August 2009. All three have the usual A5
format with a glossy cover. There is a new edition of Intachange magazine,
issue 59, dated July/August. The cover story is about days out this summer with
a picture of a Centrebus Dart in special orange livery on summer Sunday
Chilterns Rambler route 327. Another item reports the offer of a ‘webclick’
button. This is (to quote what appears on the screen when it is plugged in) a
USB Human Interface Device. Plug it into a USB port on a PC and it links
automatically to the Intalink website when the device is clicked. It also
constantly changes colour once plugged in. Intalink magazine states that it is
hoped this will slowly wean people off the more conventional printed Area
Travel Guides. Your Guide to explorer from 5th July 2009, is a slimline leaflet
promoting the Explorer ticket on the Intalink bus network. It explains that
these tickets are no longer valid on Green Line 724 route south of Maple Cross.
There
is an updated Oxfordshire Public
Transport Map & Guide dated June - December 2009. This is much the same as the previous issue from
December 2008, except that it has a new cover picture. The rural bus map now
employs a red line to show routes with an hourly or better service on Monday to
Friday, whereas previously this only indicated a route with more than five
journeys a day.
