Bus users need to check ahead today as “significant” changes come in today.

Intalink, which manages bus services on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council, has warned residents that the network will look quite different from September on.

Many of the planned changes are starting this morning (September 2), although some are being introduced later in the month and three started yesterday.

There are lots of small tweaks to timetables but also some new services and route amendments.

See the full list of changes likely to affect Watford residents from today:

  • A new Red Eagle 885 bus from Garston to Bushey Meads School (via Watford Junction) will be introduced as a school service which is open to the public. It will run Monday to Friday with an amended route during school holidays. Read more here.
  • The Red Eagle 385 Watford to North Bushey Circular will have morning journey time revisions and will instead start at North Bushey Baptist Church at 8.17am.
