We’ve had an email from someone who has a relative living near Asda in Rawreth Lane. They write:
The only service that runs along Rawreth Lane to the high street is a No 3 which is run by
Regal Busways, this service is not reliable as you can not depend on it running on time or
if it will even turn up.
During the bad winter we have just had it has left these people, who are of senior years stranded.
The state of the buses this company run on this route are filthy internally especially through
the winter, and has not improved through the better weather.
Does anyone else have the same view?
You might want to highlight the fact that the number 3 timetable is changing as of the 10 August 2013 (seeing as this site appears to have become the only one offering any information on the Number 3 bus service). The updated timetable can be downloaded from traveline.info.
Thanks for this Sean, we’ll write further about this over the weekend!
Sean, all I can find is this page, where it says “The information on this timetable is expected to be valid until at least 21st August 2013”.

Have a look at the 1,2 and 3 at the top. The timetable is changing on the 12th. People who don’t use Traveline and only read bus stop signs won’t know about these changes, and having ridden the 3 in the past couple of days there was no publicity from Regal about it either.
