From 1st April 2024 there will be changes to the bus service through Devauden.

Following a successful campaign by Devauden bus users and others on the route, the Council have agreed not to cut the number of weekday services. There will also be an increase of one service each way on a Saturday. This has long been argued for by the Friends of the 65 Bus as it will encourage walkers, tourists and other visitors to use the Saturday service.

The new bus service will be operated by Newport Bus and, unfortunately, most of the drivers currently employed by Monmouthshire County Council will not transfer to the new operator. Local residents, Trevor and Cathy Pilling, are organising a collection to show appreciation to the hardworking and helpful drivers.
