Services 113, 114, 115 and 116 offer a life line for many local villagers providing essential links between Bridgnorth, Shifnal and Telford via Beckbury, Badger and Kemberton along with several other villages - the existing timetable remains in place.

Select Bus Services offer a great range of Value for Money Day, Weekly, 4-Weekly tickets for regular traveller along with the £3 single fare cap which is available through to March 2027 – this is a great time to leave the car at home and travel by bus.
