A bus company in Buckinghamshire has revealed a ‘special’ timetable for the festive period. 

The bus firm announced its timetable for Heathrow and Gatwick airport services during the festive period.

Passengers can still use the bus to get out and about, but service will be limited or finish earlier on some days, with no local buses on Christmas Day except the airline service.

Travellers can get to the airport from High Wycombe bus station on the 102 service or by coach using the airline service departing from High Wycombe Coachway. 

Managing director of Carousel Buses Luke Marion said: “We are pleased to be offering a good level of service to our passengers travelling locally and to the airports over the festive period, including the airline service on Christmas Day.

 “We have maintained the £2 fare cap on bus services and pre-paid tickets will be valid for travel. With several changes to normal timetables, we advise our passengers to plan their journeys in advance by checking the website or app.”

Here are details of the buses if you’re travelling to see family or to work at the airport during the holidays.

The airline service to Heathrow and Gatwick will operate limited daytime services on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and a normal daily service with an early finish on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

No other local buses will operate on Christmas Day, with a special 102 service running on Boxing Day.

On Christmas Eve, main Carousel services will run a normal Sunday service and the 102 service to Heathrow Airport will run with an early finish.  

Between December 27 and 29, the 27, 275 and 577 services will operate as usual with all other services running a Saturday timetable.

On New Year’s Eve, Carousel operates a normal Sunday timetable, and on New Year’s Day no services will operate other than a limited 102 timetable.

Carousel Buses will return to normal timetable on Tuesday, January 2.
