School-time journeys on weekdays have been retimed for this route “to help improve reliability and punctuality for customers travelling to and from Stroud,” the operator said.
For Service 166 , to “help address overcrowding” school day journeys (for Thomas Keble School) at 7:30am will start from Brockworth Cross Hands from Monday November 2 and follow the Service 66 route to Stroud before continuing to Thomas Keble School on their existing route. Sunday journeys currently operated as Service 166 between Cheltenham and Stroud will also be replaced by the new Sunday Service 66.
