Capacity is very limited on this bus – we cannot guarantee that places will be available.
* The 716 bus stops in Lexden Road east of Norman Way, serving Colchester County High
School. The afternoon bus serves the various Lexden Road stops in the same order as the

drop offs, not on the opposite side of the road.
Bus Stops
Please note that buses will call at all recognised bus stops along the line of route on
demand (please signal clearly to the driver) – only the principal timing points are
shown on the timetables above. If you are unsure of your nearest stop, please email [email protected] for more information.
In Colchester, the stop for County High School is the Norman Way schools bus park.
All routes go into the bus park except the 716 which stops on Lexden Road.
Capacity
Please note that all services have a finite capacity but in particular, there are only a
very limited number of seats available on buses 701-704 and 716 and it may not
be possible to accommodate all season ticket requests.
