Changes to Bus Services during the A34 roadworks
During the A34 roadworks at Weeping Cross/Radford Bank, bus times on some routes will change and the bus service will be unable to serve some areas. However, routes and timetables have been planned to try to minimise the impact of the works to as many passengers as possible and service 826 has been adapted so that passengers can still get from Stafford town centre to Baswich and Cannock Road.
The best place to obtain information is the Chaserider website.
A summary of services that are being changed is below:
Service 10
This service will be withdrawn and replaced by a diversion on selected journeys on service 841. See below for more information.
Service 74
Service 74 will operate via the normal route on all journeys from Cannock towards Stafford. From Stafford towards Cannock buses will operate non-stop from The Sun (Lichfield Road) to Pottal Pool roundabout. We regret that there will be no southbound stops on service 74 through Queensville, Weeping Cross, Wildwood, Brocton and Bednall Head. Service 826 will provide an alternative service from Stafford to Weeping Cross, Wildwood and Brocton. There will be no southbound buses serving stops between Brocton and Pottal Pool.

Service 826 will be curtailed to run between Stafford and Rugeley only. A revised timetable on service 828 will continue to run between Stafford, Rugeley and Lichfield every 30 minutes.

Buses from Rugeley towards Stafford will continue to operate via Baswich and Queensville between Milford and Stafford. Buses on service 826 will no longer operate via the Springfields estate in Rugeley.
