From Monday 17 February 2025
Following the disruption to Leominster and Wigmore services over the past month, Sargeants will officially take over operations starting Monday 17 February.
Initially, they will run a reduced timetable until they can restore the full schedule. It is hoped this will be resolved within the coming weeks.
The following services will not be operating until further notice:
- 501: No service on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday

- 401: 17:43
- 494: 7:30, 15:20
- 76: 13:05
- 76A: 13:35
To help introduce Sargeants to the local area and to compensate for the disruptions caused, they will offer a day ticket for just £1.50 for the first two weeks.
Passengers can use this ticket to travel as often as they like on the following services:
- 401/402/403/404: Leominster local services
- 490: Leominster to Ludlow
- 494/495/496: Leominster to Shobdon (including Pembridge)
