Bus stop improvements on Route 5
We are improving bus stops on Route 5 between Barley Hill Road and Alfred Street in Northampton.
Work will take place from April to September 2026.
During this time, there may be:
- minor delays
- temporary changes to bus stops
We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we make these improvements.
The upgrades will make bus stops easier to use and more accessible for passengers.
