A new airport bus service to Heathrow has launched after a £2 million investment.

Oxford Bus Company, the owner of Carousel Buses, announced a new airline coach service from High Wycombe to Heathrow Airport.

From May 28, passengers can get the coach every 20 minutes during peak hours.

The fleet of six new luxury Mercedes Tourismo coaches adds 4,536 seats weekly for passengers heading to Heathrow for work and travel.

Oxford Bus Company and Carousel Buses managing director Luke Marion said: “It’s fantastic to see the levels of international travel fully return, which has resulted in increased demand for our airline services.

“Our airline services provide crucial connectivity between Oxford, High Wycombe and Heathrow Airport and Gatwick Airport. The latest investment in our fleet and increasing our services further underpins our commitment to the service and providing our passengers with a first-class service.

“The service is hugely popular in Buckinghamshire with people who commute to and from Heathrow Airport who use the Park and Ride at Wycombe to travel. Our increase in the services has been made possible thanks to the excellent support of our partners Heathrow Airport.”

The service will run seven days a week, 365 days a year, including a slightly altered service on Christmas day.

The 20 minute frequency will reduce slightly between late night and the early morning hours, but offering still earlier and later service than its competitors, Oxford Bus Company said.
