Onboard for a better borough: Council confims improvements to its bus services
Telford & Wrekin Council’s newly re-designed buses are on the road, marking a new milestone for one of the few council-operated bus services in the country.
Driven by resident feedback, the refreshed Travel Telford fleet features striking new colours and graphics designed to make services instantly recognisable and even more accessible.
Since launching in 2022, passengers have made more than 650,000 journeys. These improvements are expected to boost passenger numbers further, with the Council aiming to reach 750,000 rides by the end of 2025 and 1 million during 2026.
