News from Tiger Line Buses

Tiger Line Service T5 is coming to Amersham, Chesham, Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead, Adeyfield, Leverstock Green, St Albans, Fleetville, Oaklands and Hatfield!

We are expanding our network once again, from Monday 9th August 2010

ROARY PAINTS THE TOWN ORANGE AND BLACK, IN AMERSHAM, ST ALBANS AND HATFIELD!

For the third consecutive summer, Tiger Line Buses are to introduce a new local bus service, on Monday 9^th August 2010!

The new Tiger Line Service T5 will link Amersham, Chesham, Lye Green, Bovingdon, Boxmoor, Hemel Hempstead, Adeyfield, Leverstock Green, St Albans, Fleetville, Oaklands, and Hatfield. The service will operate every hour, Monday to Friday daytimes, and every two hours on Saturdays.

The service will build on the success of Tiger Line’s other bus services. Tiger Line have a reputation for providing quality bus services around Chesham and Hemel Hempstead. Nothing is too much trouble for our friendly staff. While our buses are not low floor, our drivers are more than willing to assist passengers with shopping or buggies. Our buses are fitted with comfortable, coach-style seating.

The new route also marks the launch of a new look for the company. Previously, our buses were white with lettering. However, the vehicles intended for this work will be painted in a new livery of mostly orange, with a black skirt. Most buses will be fitted with route branding, showing clearly where we are going, and our fare deals.

Fares on Service T5 are low, and designed to encourage passengers to travel. We have low single tickets, Day Returns (valid all day), Weekly and Saverstrip (12 journeys for no more than the price of 10). Discounts on the Adult fare are available to Children, University of Hertfordshire staff & students, Oaklands College staff & students, West Herts College staff & students, etc.

Passengers who purchase a Return or Explorer ticket (but not Roary Rovers) between Hemel Hempstead and Hatfield can come back later on the evening at no extra charge! After we’ve gone home for the night, Uno operate an evening Service 301 between the same points, which will accept our Return tickets, and all Intalink Explorers.

Our new Roary Rover tickets will allow 1, 7 or 28 days unlimited travel, in the areas of your choice, or even across our whole network! How does £5.00 for a day’s travel anywhere we go sound, good? Well, it gets even better on Saturdays, when you can take two Children free with every Adult Network Roary Rover (daily, weekly, 4-weekly) purchased on that day (or, in the case of weekly/4 weekly tickets, valid for that day).

This bus journey connects with four main railway lines, various markets, local shops, hospitals, and hundreds of other bus connections.

This new service will also reinstate links between Hemel Hempstead, Bovingdon and Stoke Mandeville Hospital. Passengers can board our Service T5 heading for Chesham, and change there to Service T1, which takes you straight into the grounds of Stoke Mandeville Hospital, as well as other places such as Great Missenden or Worlds End Garden Centre.

We currently have four through journeys on our Service T2 between Chesham and Watford. Now, passengers can travel between these points throughout the day, simply by changing buses at Hemel Hempstead.

Our new timetable leaflet shows all journeys on Service T5, plus connections to/from Services T1 and T2. It also includes details of all our money saving deals, sample fares, and much more. Look for your copy at various local outlets, or download our timetable for all the details! Failing that, email roary@tigerlinebuses.com or phone 01494 774411 and we will post you one.

Service T3/106/321 revised afternoon service

From the start of the Autumn school term, Princes Risborough School will be finishing at the same time every day. This will mean that the 321 bus will now depart from Princes Risborough at 15.05 and the school at 15.15 every day of the week. A new timetable is now online.

Service T2 minor changes

We are making some changes to Service T2. We were reluctant to make yet another change to this route, at this time. However, West Herts College is currently intending to close the Cassio Campus, upon opening of a new “super Campus” on the Watford Campus site, this coming September.

At the same time, we intend to correct a few gremlins that found their way into our last timetable. Some changes will therefore take place, with a list included in the new timetable.

Service T1 minor fare revision

From Monday 9th August, the maximum fare on Service T1 will be £4.90 Adult Single. We will be connecting with our new Service T5 to/from Hemel Hempstead and beyond, allowing you to travel to these places once more!

Kings Langley Carnival 2010

We were at the Kings Langley carnival recently, with one of our double deck buses, stuff to give away, and of course, Roary The Tiger. Have a look at the photos!

Changes to Service T2
Starting Monday 24th May 2010

We are making some changes to your local bus Service T2. Most off-peak buses will run ten minutes earlier, including the Saturday service. There will also be a new peak time service between Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted and Chesham, including Chesham High School on schooldays only. Download a new timetable now!

Changes to Service T1
Starting Monday 10th May 2010

We are making some changes to your local bus Service T1. We would not normally make changes to the service just a few weeks after the last, but we do need to urgently improve on the reliability of this route.

From this date, there are slight changes throughout the timetable. The service will be curtailed to operate between Aylesbury and Whelpley Hill only. The service will no longer serve Bovingdon village, or HMP The Mount.
