Hay Ho! Bus Timetable Changes!


                                                                       Food stall in Hay


Just to mention that the Hay Ho! bus to Hay has a new timetable in operation from Sunday 6th September, 2015. The bus leaves Hereford Railway Station at 1015,1315 and 1615. It returns from Hay (Oxford Rd, Hay Castle side) at 1125 (not 1150 as now), 1455 and 1725.

The other minor revision relates to Madley...the bus will no longer turnaround at Archenfield in Madley; it calls at the Post Office, Madley on the way out to Hay and at the stop by the crossroads on the way back into Hereford. So Madley is still served but not the section down to Archenfield housing estate.

If you'd like to see a full timetable and for more information about Hay Ho! see www.hayhobus.org.uk

Hay Ho! Bus Annual Gathering Sunday September 6th 2015




The good news is that  the Hay Ho! bus has been secured for another year. 

The revised service will start on Sunday September 6th and to kick off the year there'll be a first annual gathering at 1130 at the Swan Hotel, Church Street, Hay-on-Wye to look to the future of the service and how it can be improved in the coming months.

The Hay Ho! gang of supporters know that it is used by a wide range of people from young people coming back from work, shoppers, walkers and visitors. Plus Hay has gained business as a result of the bus and Hereford has gained shoppers too. The Hay Ho! rambles, organised by CAMRA and Herefordshire Ramblers, have encouraged walkers to enjoy the Golden Valley and use local businesses there.


This meeting will give people a chance to have their say. You are most welcome to attend, to have a chat  over a tea and coffee; the meeting will be about an hour then there's time for lunch or a wander around Hay. 

Supporters are catching the 1015 bus out from Hereford and the 1455 or 1725 bus back...note the minor change to times!

Folk Down the Track August 20th, 2015



Another great line up at the Castle Inn, Knucklas! Joining Folk Down the Track on August 20th are Bouzatina playing a mix of Celtic, Irish acoustic folk. They are followed by Nancy and Andy Ketchen who play with Rapsquillion and occasionally with Boutzatina. Andy writes his own material and currently has a CD Songs for the Hill on sale. The two groups will finish off the night by playing together. A great set for those who love traditional folk at its best.

Catch the 1825 train from Shrewsbury and stations down the line to Knucklas and the 2150 back home. Connections from Ludlow, Leominster and Hereford.
