The 366 bus, which runs through Harpenden, Batford and Wheathampstead, is not serving the Wheathampstead stops from Marford Road Sheepcote Lane to St Helen's Church today and on Friday 16 October. The cause is a closure of Wheathampstead High Street, in force from 9.30am to 4pm.
Passengers should use the stops at Marford Road Waterend Lane or Lower Luton Road Rose Lane instead. The 610 is affected in the same way, and the 304 will also not serve the stop at St Helen's Church.
A four-day closure of the village's main street is a nuisance for anyone catching a bus in the middle of the day. Anyone from Harpenden or Batford heading for Wheathampstead should plan to get off a stop or two early and walk the rest.
