Village Hopper expands!

An expansion to the Village Hopper service, VH1, will be run by Cogenhoe & Whiston Parish Council to replace the W8 bus service.

Passengers will be able to travel directly from Wollaston, Bozeat, Easton Maudit, Grendon, Cogenhoe, Brafield, the Houghton’s to Northampton, Wellingborough, Weston Favell, Stanwick Lakes and Rushden Lakes.

The minibus will run like a regular bus service with a set timetable with journeys between 7:30am and 6pm several times a day from Monday to Saturday to help residents travel to work, college, the shops and Northampton General Hospital.

As well as the purchase of tickets on the bus and the acceptance of any valid concessionary bus passes, the VH1 is part of United Kingdom Sharded Prosperity Fund this allows maximum fare on bus services to remain at £3.  Current fares can be viewed here

With Cogenhoe & Whiston Parish Council expanding their existing route, this brings cost savings to the council, and the savings will now be utilised to fund other bus services across North Northants.
