September 2010 Changes to NCT bus services

September 2010 Changes

From Sunday 5th September 2010, we’re enhancing the frequency of Monday to Saturday daytime buses on most of our core bus routes. We’re also improving Sunday daytime timetables too, offering more buses to make going out for the day or to the City Centre for shopping even easier.

City Centre bus stops will also change on several routes to improve access around the City. New timetables will be available at all normal timetable outlets from late July/early August.
