New stops have been added to a bus service connecting Colchester with Stansted Airport. 

Bus operator First Bus announced changes to its X20 service, as it will be rerouted starting in June. 

The service will continue with the overall number of journeys, as only minor timing changes to the timetable will be required to accommodate the new route via the B1256, Little Canfield and Takeley, between Great Dunmow and Stansted Airport. 

Four Ashes in Takeley will be added to the schedule, as further stops in Great Dunmow, Great Notley, Braintree, Coggeshall, Marks Tey, and Colchester remain. 

The change in route provides a weekly, 24 hour service to Stansted Airport and a 45-minute journey between Braintree and Stansted Airport. 

First Bus confirmed the maximum single fare remains at £3 until the end of 2025, and for customers travelling between Takeley and Stansted Airport, a maximum £2 single fare will apply.
