Thames Travel have announced that their new timetable for the A1 beginning on 9th June will include serving Grove at the beginning and the end of the day. I hope that this is because they have now seen how the impact of losing bus services to Grove has disadvantaged the village.
I have been calling on them and the County Council to help restore the services we lost at the end of last year so let us hope that this is just the beginning and more will follow. The A1 service change which will begin next week will stop at Mayfield Avenue in Grove at 06.58am before calling at Wantage and continuing the service to Harwell, Didcot and beyond. On the return journey it will drop off at Mayfield Avenue at 18.55pm for those returning in the evening.
I appreciate that this will still not suit everyone and we are still lacking the continuity of the services we received before, but this does go some way to helping early commuters and those wishing to get home in the evening. To view the complete timetable see Thames Travel's website, where you can download and print off a copy if you wish.
May I also remind residents that there is still a direct service from Grove to Didcot on Tuesdays and Thursdays from Millbrook shopping centre. I have placed a copy of the timetable at the bus stop so that passengers can see this. You can also view the times here.
