New fast bus service launched between Horsham and Guildford

Arriva introduced a fleet of new coaches on Monday (May 2) which will travel hourly between the towns from Monday to Friday.

The service starts at Horsham Railway Station and makes it way, via Horsham Bus Station, through Broadbridge Heath, Clemsfold, Alfold, Bramley and Shalford before arriving in Guildford.

Andy Isbell, of Arriva, said: “We are investing a significant sum of money across Kent and Surrey this year to enhance our fleet and services for our customers.

“The new vehicles have the latest Euro 6 clean engines to deliver our ambitious environmental targets across Arriva and by 2020.

“This is especially important on routes such as Service 3 in Guildford that takes in residential areas.

“The introduction of minibuses on that route will also help us to run a more reliable service, avoiding delays caused by buses struggling to negotiate obstructions on the tight streets.”

Arriva has also launched another new service in Guildford.
