Thames Travel X34 service (Didcot – Harwell – Newbury) will shortly be enhanced to operate on Sundays. The first Sunday operation of the service will be Sunday 20th September.
The Sunday route will be different to the Monday to Saturday X34 route so for this reason will be notated as the 34 service. The Sunday route through West Berkshire is changed to serve West Ilsley, East Ilsley, Beedon and Chieveley.
This Sunday service will be operated under contract to West Berkshire Council and has been made possible with funding from the Council’s financial award from the Department for Transport towards its Bus Services Improvement Plan.
