366 bus skips Wheathampstead stops until Friday

Wheathampstead High Street has been closed from 13 October and reopens after today's closure window, 9.30am to 4pm. During those hours the 366 (Luton, Harpenden, Batford, Wheathampstead, Welwyn Garden City) and the 610 will not serve the stops from Marford Road Sheepcote Lane to St Helen's Church.
