| Published: 30th August 2006 16:17 |
During the Autumn from the start of the University term the ‘shuttle’ will be extended to the newly constructed Park & Ride facility at Angerlands (off Southway, South Hatfield).
A high frequency service (every five to six minutes) will be operated on term days linking Angerlands, College Lane campus and de Havilland campus.
The service will be operated with five brand new purpose built single deck buses (Mercedes Citaro) with plenty of standing room and two door operation to speed up boarding and alighting times.
New route 601 will operate as follows:
Welwyn Garden City, Stanborough, Hatfield Business Park, UH de Havilland Campus, Oakland College, Fleetville and St Albans. Many new or improved links will be provided by this service including:
Direct links from Welwyn Garden City to the fast growing Hatfield Business Park.
New Service for Broadwater Road area of Welwyn Garden City (including the new UH Bio park development.)
Faster journey times for passengers travelling from Welwyn Garden City through to St Albans.
Links between the Oaklands College campuses at St Albans, Oaklands, Acrewood Way and Welwyn Garden City.

New links to Hatfield Campus
Brand new bus service 606 will provide new links from Jersey Farm and Marshallwick area of St Albans to the de Havilland and College Lane Campus in Hatfield. The route will continue to Hatfield Town Centre and then onto the Birchwood area through to the Tesco store at Oldings Corner.
This will also be the first time these areas have had a direct service to the University at College Lane. This new service will save time (and money!) for UH staff and students living in these areas.
Service 606 will operate every hour throughout the daytime Monday to Friday.
More buses between College Lane and Hatfield Rail Station
In response to growing demand bus 603 will now operate every 10 minutes between UH College Lane, Hatfield Town Centre and Rail Station. (Monday to Friday term times)

In addition there will extra buses between the Rail Station and Bishops Rise in the early evening period for the benefit of students returning to Hatfield at this time.
More buses for route 634
To cater for the increased loadings on this motorway service two brand new single deck buses will be introduced from early September along with an existing double deck vehicle for the busy morning journey from Stevenage to Hatfield.
