Call for new volunteers to drive the community bus:

Our community bus relies solely on volunteers. There is a large band of enthusiastic drivers but a few more people are needed to go on the rota to spread the load. It is great fun and a good way of meeting people.
So, why not give it a try even if you can only do it occasionally. We would love to hear from you either by email or you can call:
Email: [email protected]
Phone: 01376 561904
Thank you.

Update Tuesday 17th February 2026:
The Gravel - update.
Our service this evening (Tuesday) will run to our normal route.
Tomorrow our morning and evening services will run to our normal route, although it is likely that the 09:14 service from Kelvedon station will have to come via the Feering road.
We are advised that the work at The Gravel will be completed tomorrow, so our service on Thursday will be unaffected.
Thank you for your patience.

11th Feb 2026:Announcement

CHANGE TO OUR SERVICE NEXT WEEK
16TH – 19TH FEBRUARY

The Gravel will be closed for most of next week, meaning that entry to the town centre via that route will be suspended.

On these days, we will run a shuttle service to Kelvedon station from Abbey Lane (off Bridge Street). We consider this to be the most workable and safe solution.

We will do our best to operate in line with our normal morning and evening timetables, albeit over this shorter route.

We appreciate that passengers will need to walk up to Abbey Lane and to set out a little earlier to reach the bus in time (nb Market Hill to Abbey Lane takes, around, 5 minutes). We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Update to The Coggeshall Community Bus Pick Up Point
Re: re White Hart Road Closure.
Please note also that there will be no service around the estate. The bus will turn around at The Gravel/Bridge St.
It looks like the road closure is going to still be there at least tomorrow (Monday 12JAN26) so, please note that while the works are in place, the pick-up and drop-off point will be moved from Market Hill, Curtain Exchange to Bridge St by the entrance to The White Hart Car Park; seems the safest place. It should be obvious to see when the road is open again and we shall revert to the normal stop.

Friday 9th January 2026 Update to service:

Community Bus Announcement:

Due to the road being closed at the White Heart, passengers arriving from Kelvedon Station will be dropped off at or close by to The Gravel for tonight's service. (Friday 9th Jan) Passengers wanting to go from Market Hill to the station this evening, please go to the Wet Cleaners or close by which is actually at the village end of Bridge St.

Christmas 2025 Timetable:

The last community bus will be running on Christmas Eve in the morning to the normal timetable starting at 06:15.
There will be no service in the evening.

There will be no service between Christmas and New Year.

Service resumes at 06:15 from Market Hill on Friday 2nd January 2026 and the normal timetable follows thereafter.

Community Bus Announcement:

The card reader problems persist and we are working to resolve these urgently.
Meanwhile; PLEASE PAY IN CASH.
Alternatively, please pay via bacs - details in bus

23/10/2024

Our apologies for the failure of our card payment system this morning. This was caused by a technical issue with the hardware operating system. The fault has now been cleared and card payments have resumed.

21/10/2024

We are now taking card payments, as well as cash, so no problems if you don't have any change.

31/07/2024

Our new timetable comes into effect on Monday 5th August. The new timetable will better reflect recent changes to the train timetable and also reinstates the 09:00 run to the station. Full details are now available on our web site www.coggeshallbus.co.uk.

24/07/2024

Our new amended timetable, which better reflects recent changes to the train times, is currently going through the long winded approval process by the Traffic Commissioner. We were hoping to be able start it at the end of this month, but with July slipping by, it may well be August before we can implement it.

As soon as we have official approval, an advance copy of the new timetable and the start date will be posted on our web site.
