The new 65 Bus timetable commenced on Monday 22nd March 2021. This improved the service to The Narth as, until now, the Chepstow to Monmouth services starting at 7am and 3.30pm both bypassed our village, as did the Monmouth to Chepstow service starting at 7.45am.

The Narth now has three additional services Monday to Friday at the following times from our village:

• 07.30 to Monmouth
• 08.03 to Chepstow
• 16.00 to Monmouth

This good news follows discussions between Friends of the 65 Bus and Monmouthshire County Council.

The full timetables are available on the Friends of the 65 Bus web site www.friendsofthe65bus.org.uk

The Friends of the 65 Bus, the group originally established last year to save our local bus service from threatened cuts, now have their own web site www.friendsofthe65bus.org.uk.  As well as bus timetables there are suggestions for trips out, news, links to related sites (such as how to apply for a bus pass) and the continuing campaign to keep the bus in operation and encourage the use of our local public transport.

The 65 is one of the most picturesque bus routes in the country.  We are very lucky to have it and we shouldn’t take it for granted, so if you have any thoughts or stories to tell, get in touch with the Friends via their site.

The holiday timetable for our 65 Bus is below.  For the normal timetable from The Narth see our Local Transport page, and the full timetable on the County Council’s web site
