NEW bus timetables come into force in Swindon from Monday.

Routes 1 and 1A (Middleleaze to Great Western Hospital via Link Centre, Outlet Village, Swindon Town Centre, New College) and 1B (Sparcells & Peatmoor to Great Western Hospital via Link Centre, Outlet Village, Swindon Town Centre, New College) will each have a completely new schedule to address what Swindon Bus Company described as "major reliability issues" of the previous timetable.

Route 2 buses leaving the central bus station will no longer serve stops at Corporation Street and Spring Gardens but will instead call at Manchester Road (Gladstone Street) and the County Ground.

Journeys towards the Bus Station are not affected by the change.
