Stagecoach West has confirmed it will run amended bus times in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, for the bank holiday weekend from Friday 3 April to Monday 6 April 2026. The changes mean some services will run less frequently than usual during the long weekend while residents travel for work or to visit family.
On Good Friday and Easter Monday, Stagecoach West will operate a Sunday timetable across the local network. Services on Saturday 4 April and Easter Sunday 5 April will follow their normal weekend routines before the full regular service resumes on Tuesday 7 April 2026.
The operator is currently rolling out 42 new electric buses across the county, which are used on popular local routes like the 94, 95, and 41. This follows a major update to the town network in September 2025 that improved the frequency of the A service to every 12 minutes and created the F service to help residents reach Cheltenham General Hospital.
Families planning to visit local holiday events promoted by Visit Cheltenham should check for specific first and last bus times on the operator’s mobile app before they leave. Passengers should also keep in mind that Stagecoach will stop running the S2 service to Witney and Oxford from Sunday 29 March 2026. The route will be taken over by Pulhams as the new X52 service, starting one week before the bank holiday begins.
