SERVICE CHANGES
From Monday 20th July 2026, we'll be introducing a new network of Leominster Town bus services, replacing the current 401, 402, 403 and 404 routes.
The existing services will continue to operate until the end of service on Saturday 18th July 2026.
Our new routes are:
1 / 1A –
Leominster Town West Circular
Serving Morrisons, Barons Cross and Buckfield Road.
Timetable: http://yeomanstravel.co.uk/tourimage/pdf/11afrommonday20thjuly2026.pdf
2 / 2A –
Leominster Town East Circular
Serving Ridgemoor, Marsh Court Health Centre and Castlefields.
Timetable: http://yeomanstravel.co.uk/tourimage/pdf/22afrommonday20thjuly2026.pdf
3 / 3A –
Leominster Town South Circular
Serving Churchill Avenue, Newlands, The Meadows and Marsh Court Health Centre.
Timetable: http://yeomanstravel.co.uk/tourimage/pdf/33afrommonday20thjuly2026.pdf
Serving the new
Marsh Court Health Centre
A key improvement to the new network is the inclusion of the new Marsh Court Health Centre in the north of the town. This will be served by routes 2, 2A, 3 and 3A, making it easier for patients and visitors to travel by bus.
Passengers travelling from the Barons Cross area can also use the 1 or 1A into the town centre, where most journeys provide a convenient connection to buses serving Marsh Court Health Centre. These connections are clearly shown in the 1/1A timetable.
Changes to some
roads served
Unfortunately, due to ongoing issues with parked vehicles preventing buses from safely accessing certain roads, we will no longer be able to serve:
• Caswell Crescent
• Caswell Road
• Caswell Terrace
Passengers are advised to use stops at Leominster Railway Station or Waterworks Lane to catch routes 2 and 2A.
As well as:
• Danesfield Drive
• Bircher Close
Passengers for these areas are advised to use routes 3 and 3A, which operate via Sand Pits, Newlands Road and Westcroft.
New timetables and
route maps are attached to this post, and will shortly be
available on our website and on buses in the Leominster area.
We thank all our passengers for their continued support and
look forward to welcoming you onboard our new Leominster Town
network.

Yeomans Travel - Swift Card
The cashless way to travel
From Monday 2nd November 2020 we will be rolling out a new way to pay on board our buses.
Using Swift will let you top up online, on the bus and soon you will be able to use Payzone facility.
Cards are free and can be registered online on the Swift website where you can top up or select an auto top up when the card balance goes below a selected limit.
The Swift card can hold a maximum of £50 at any one time and can be used to buy multiple tickets on one journey so if you have 2 people travelling, one card is all you need. Your balance is shown at the bottom of your bus ticket too so you will always know how much you have left!
You can order your card online direct from Swift via their website: https://www.tfwm.org.uk/swift-and-tickets/swift-pay-as-you-go/
Pay as you go is the only part of the scheme we are operating at the moment.
You can set up an account online which will help safeguard your card or you can contact us at Yeomans Travel and we can either send you a blank card out or you can call in and collect one if this is easier, plus you can always top it up here as well!
This will mean you no longer have to hunt around for change in the mornings or the night before and there is no expiry date, so if you are not a regular user the money stays on your Swift card and can be used as and when required.
For more information on this scheme, please see either the Swift website or contact Yeomans Travel.
