R4U’s Cllr Paul Gadd, Essex County Councillor for the Saffron Walden Division, said “I’m delighted that Essex County Council have made arrangements for the restoration of the 59/590 bus service. It was previously run on an independent commercial basis by Stephenson’s, but stopped when the new bus contracts were awarded earlier this year to Central Connect. We’ve been contacted by a number of residents who rely on this bus service to get to work, and at R4U we’re delighted that ECC have finally made arrangements with Central Connect to restore the service. We’re still waiting for the detailed timetable, but once issued it will be available from www.traveline.info and from the Saffron Walden Tourist Information Centre.”
