Konectbuses is becoming Central Connect!

This summer, we are announcing the next step for your local bus network. Over the coming months, Konectbuses will be officially rebranding to Central Connect, bringing a unified look and a renewed dedication to keeping our community moving.

We know that a name change is a big deal, but we want to reassure all our passengers that our services will continue to run as normal. We are still the same local team, just with a vibrant new identity!

A Clear Direction Forward

We want to be completely open with you: we know that Konectbuses was a very recent rebrand from Hedingham and Chambers. We understand that undergoing another name change so soon might cause some confusion, and we sincerely appreciate your patience during this time.

Please be assured that this transition to Central Connect represents a clear, long-term direction for our network. We are deeply dedicated to improving your daily travel experience, and this new brand name gives us the solid foundation we need to deliver a better, more consistent service for you.

Upgrades to our Website, App and Social Media Accounts

As part of the transition to Central Connect, we are giving our digital platforms a makeover to make planning your journey and buying tickets even easier.

  • A Fresh Website: Our online home will be updated with the new Central Connect look.
  • App Updates: Your mobile ticketing and live-tracking app will also be transitioning to reflect the new brand.
  • Social Media: If you already follow us on social media, you won't need to follow a new page. Our existing pages will be updated with the new name and branding.

Don't worry about getting lost in the shuffle! We will keep you fully informed every step of the way. Whether it's through email updates, social media posts, or notices on the buses themselves, we will make sure you know exactly when these digital changes are happening and how to access your tickets seamlessly.

Part of Transport Made Simple

This exciting rebrand reflects our proud position within Transport Made Simple, one of the largest independently owned bus operators in the UK.

By unifying under the Central Connect name, we are joining a wider family of high-quality transport networks across the East of England. Being part of the Transport Made Simple group means we have the backing, resources, and shared expertise to continually invest in our fleet, our technology, and our people, ensuring we deliver the best possible service to you, our passengers.

We are incredibly excited to share this journey with you. Keep an eye out for the new Central Connect buses in your area, and thank you for continuing to travel with us!
