Essex County Council would like to apologise for the distress caused to residents by the disappointing actions of the bus operator. We fully understand people’s concern and have therefore worked with other operators to put as many journeys as possible in place for Monday. These will target school and peak journeys which are the most used, in the first instance.
From Monday 15 April, the following services will be operated by either A2B Travel Group or Stephensons of Essex. Travel will be free until registrations are completed – we will advise when this is the case. We would like to thank these operators for their rapid response and support.
Update: From Thursday 18 April, Uttlesford bus services 59/590 will be run by Stephensons of Essex. Timetables remain as they are now. Travel will be free of charge until the routes are registered. We will advise when this becomes the case.
Update: Please see the updated timetables for services 301 and 316 /318 these will commence on Wednesday 01 May 2024. We will provide further updates on a return to full service levels as soon as possible.
We will continue to work with A2B Travel Group and Stephensons of Essex to provide the full service as soon as possible.
If you have any concerns about Central Connect (who communicate as Vectare) and the current position, please contact the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.
This page will be updated as we have more information.
