Demand responsive transport network in southern Wiltshire From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Connect2Wiltshire is a demand responsive transport network in southern Wiltshire, England. It is funded by Wiltshire Council[1] and operates in several areas including Calne, Kennet Valley, Mere, the Vale of Pewsey, Wootton Bassett, Malmesbury and the Woodford & Wylye Valleys.[2]
The network combines the former Wigglybus and other shared taxi networks under one brand.[3] Unlike many bus services, all passengers have to book at least one hour before travelling. It operates standard taxi services also. Unlike standard taxis, these are charged at bus rates.[4] The name was chosen because the council required a new licence to use the name Wigglybus.[5]
Connect2Wiltshire also oversee bus routes 101/102/103 (Devizes to Pewsey), operated since August 2017 by Salisbury Reds.[6] These are ordinary bus routes and do not have to be pre-booked.
In 2022, the Department for Transport awarded £1.2million to Wiltshire Council for an on-demand bus service in Pewsey Vale and Marlborough.[7] Services began in Pewsey Vale on 31 July 2023 under the Wiltshire Connect brand.[8]
