Connectivity boosted as new bus service links Nuneaton and Rugby

The new Service 84 – and its variant 84A – will significantly enhance public transport options for residents and commuters.

Funded by Central Government through the Bus Service Improvement Plan Plus (BSIP+) grant, it will provide crucial direct public bus links between Nuneaton, Bedworth, and Rugby, serving key locations including George Eliot Hospital in Nuneaton and St Cross Hospital in Rugby. It also marks the first regular bus connection for the villages of Withybrook and Barnacle.
