Revised Timetable and Route Change

Sun 21st Jun onwards

Revised timetable on all days.

Blue 40 will now operate between City, St Ann’s, Winwood Heights and Sherwood Shops.

A small number of early morning, late evening and Sunday daytime journeys will continue to the City Hospital, as Blue 40A (not serving Winwood Heights). At other times of day, customers can transfer between Blue 40 and frequent Purple Line services in Sherwood to complete their journey.

The number of people using Blue 40 to and from the City Hospital represents just 6% of the total passengers on the route, and the extension through to City Hospital and Edwards Lane Estate is no longer viable. Most people travelling to the City Hospital use the frequent Brown and Purple Line services, which provide buses up to every 5 minutes on both sides of the City Hospital Campus.

Winwood Heights will be served by more buses during Monday to Saturday daytimes, with the last bus serving Winwood Heights at approx. 18:00.

The lightly used evening service will no longer operate, with buses finishing at approx. 19:00.
