Background

The company carries over six million passengers per year, and its buses cover over 6 million miles.[1]

In addition to Bedford, they also operate certain buses to surrounding towns, including Northampton, Luton, Milton Keynes, Hitchin and Flitwick.

The flagship X5 service operates from Cambridge to Oxford via Bedford and Milton Keynes using Plaxton bodied Volvo B9R coaches, and runs up to every 30 minutes most days. To assist the elderly and disabled, most routes have low-floor buses.

Most routes operate all week, all routes (with the exception of J2) operate to a reduced timetable on Sundays, and some only operate on Sundays (V2 Cranfield via Stewartby and M2 via Henlow Camp). On bank holidays, a Sunday service is operated.[2]
