Over 1,700 comments were received through the recent bus survey. These comments have helped finalise plans for services. Stagecoach will host two public events where customers can pick up timetable leaflets, discuss the upcoming changes and ask any questions. These events will take place on the following dates and locations:
- Worthing – 26th March
- Littlehampton – 1st April
Stagecoach has published a full breakdown of the main changes made using this feedback and their events on its website at stagecoachbus.com/Worthing2025. Full details of the new timetables can also be found on this page.
Over 5,00 extra miles will run each week on the new timetables, with more buses for Durrington and a faster route between Littlehampton and Worthing. Final timetables have been shaped by feedback received from customers during the company’s recent feedback survey, which ran through January and early February.
The changes focus on improving service reliability, frequency and the overall customer experience, with more buses running at the busiest times of day. With high demand for travel at the weekend, 40% more buses will run every Sundays.
