Withdrawal of routes 710 & 711

1 month ago Tue 2nd Jun 2026

We are sorry to announce that we we will no longer be providing Cinderford local routes 710 & 711 after operation on Friday 25 June (for route 710) and Saturday 26 June (for route 711).

Route 711 is provided under contract to Gloucestershire County Council. The council has decided it will no longer provide funding when the contract ends in June. Without financial support, we are unable to provide this service and route 710. Thank you to our customers who have supported both services.

Our route 72 in Cinderford remains unchanged and continues to provide a service along Ruspidge Road for those residents in Buckshaft. 

Alternative arrangements for other areas are provided by The Robin (not operated by Newport Bus).
