Transport and Travel Update

Major Changes to First Essex Bus Network

There are substantial network changes to both routes and timetables with effect from Sunday 17 April.

These changes are in response to the change in travel habits. Some buses will run earlier and later in the day, some more/less often and there will be new networks in the Basildon, Chelmsford and Colchester areas.

See further information on the First Essex Buses website.

As well as other changes, routes 40, 42, 45, 51, 54, 56, 57 (and their variants) are to be withdrawn and replaced by the new Chelmsford shuttle network. Further information about the changes affecting Chelmsford can be found here.
