Road Closure
Temporary Shuttle Bus Services in Cookham
Whilst The Pound is closed from 27 July to 23 August, the regular 37 bus service can’t reach Cookham. It will have to divert via the A308 and A404 between Furze Platt and Bourne End, missing Cookham.
An additional shuttle bus linking Cookham and Maidenhead during the dates of the closure will be available, to keep the village connected.
We are grateful to Cadent for their financial contribution and to Carousel Buses, who have worked hard to mobilise this additional service at very short notice, for making this possible.
