Shenley & Westcroft Express Bus |
| If you live in Loughton, the Shenleys or
Westcroft you might have given up on local buses years ago. Slow,
infrequent services in cramped, old buses that bounce up and down over
every road hump is enough to deter all but the desperate.
Happily there is now a fast bus service that runs directly along the grid roads using modern, spacious buses. Service 8 now runs every 15 minutes from Mondays to Saturdays and every 30 minutes evenings & Sundays. Check the times on the Council's timetable site.

| The 8 runs from Morrisons at Westcroft, past
the Shenleys and serves the railway station, shopping centre, Woolstone
& Fox Milne
roundabouts (for Willen Lake) and the TESCO Extra store at Kingston.
Anyone planning more than a couple of journeys should consider an all-day DaySaver ticket for £3.90 which gives unlimited travel on all of Arriva's MK network for a whole day. This includes some buses which operate outside the city.

Morrisons at Westcroft |

Willen Lake |
Using service 8 does mean walking to the
grid road but for anyone living near to the route in Emerson Valley,
Shenley Church End, Shenley Brook End, Shenley Lodge, Furzton or Loughton this is likely to be a better bet than other
services, even if they do come into the estates.
Alight at Woolstone roundabout for the south-west corner of Willen Lake including the Water Sports Centre & Extreme Climbing Course. Alight at Fox Milne roundabout for the south-east corner of the lake. |
