Since the start of the September term, the 150 school bus has been severely affected by traffic issues in Maidstone. In the main, this is due to the closure of the bridge on the M20 between junctions 6 and 5, with more traffic than usual going through the town centre. This has resulted in children being late for school almost every day.
From Monday 7th October we will be operating a temporary timetable, with earlier departure times from Walderslade and Lordswood. We appreciate that children using this service already have an early start, and this adjustment will lengthen their day. However, we have to prioritise arriving at school on time.
The situation will be kept under review, and revert to something like the original times once the traffic issues have eased.
The new timetable can be found here 150 Temporary Timetable from 7.10.2024
