Arriva Midlands will make changes to the routes served by bus service 8 (Telford to Bridgnorth via Broseley) and service 18 (Telford to Bridgnorth via Broseley) from Monday 30 January [2023].
Arriva Midlands will make changes to the routes served by bus service 8 (Telford to Bridgnorth via Broseley) and service 18 (Telford to Bridgnorth via Broseley) from Monday 30 January [2023].
It’s a result of Arriva receiving an order from the Traffic Commissioner preventing them from operating down Cape Street in Broseley. This means both services have been re-routed to follow an alternative way through the town.
The changes are as follows:
8 – Telford to Bridgnorth via Broseley
The map below shows the roads that will no longer served in pink, and the revised route in blue. Buses towards Bridgnorth will continue to operate in an anticlockwise direction, and buses towards Telford will continue to operate in a clockwise direction. The timetable is unchanged.

18 – Telford to Much Wenlock via Broseley
Due to insufficient time to make the same diversion as route 8, all journeys on route 18 will operate directly along Barratts Hill. This will mean that Cape Street will no longer be served and passengers are advised to check the timetable for their nearest stops.
The revised route is shown in blue, and the current route in pink.
