Update: Bus service changes, May 2026 - Stafford Borough

SCC have advised of an amendment to bus services, following a change to the traffic management as follows:

Following a change to traffic management for these roadworks Creswell Grove A5013 will be closed at the M6 junction in the Eccleshall direction and re-opened in the Stafford direction.

From 18th May buses will be able to operate via the normal route on journeys from Eccleshall to Stafford. Journeys serving Sir Graham Balfour School in the morning will be reinstated.

Buses towards Eccleshall will divert via Doxey and Seighford, and will not stop to pick up or set down until Ladfordfields on journeys via Woodseaves or Great Bridgeford on journeys via Walton Hall.

Sir Graham Balfour School will continue to be served at 1535, but buses will commence at the school and operate via Stafford Town Centre. Arrivals in Eccleshall will be around 10 minutes later than usual. The later journey from the school will no longer operate.

Passengers travelling from Stafford to points that are no longer being served on the outbound journey can stay on the bus to Eccleshall and alight on the return journey.

The revised timetable is available on the Chaserider website: https://www.chaserider.co.uk/service-updates/
