Eversley Shopper Service

Commencing Tuesday 12 May 2026
yelabus working with Eversley Parish Council – and utilising funding from the Department for Transport facilitated by Hampshire County Council Bus Service Improvement Plan – are pleased to announce a new regular door to door community transport service every Tuesday, running from Eversley to The Meadows shopping complex and Camberley Town Centre.  The service will utilise one of our two wheelchair lift equipped minibuses being driven by one of our trained volunteer drivers.

In common with many rural areas, Eversley has no local shop nor are there any bus connections to the main shopping areas at The Meadows and Camberley, so we are commencing a new community transport service to link Eversley residents from their front doors to these locations.

Residents need to register with us and book the service in advance to enable individual pickup and transport to one of the destinations.  For legal reasons we cannot pick up or set down at ordinary bus stops.

For the first month we are operating the service with no charge.  The plan is to eventually charge £6 for the return journey.

Initial funding for the service startup has been provided by the Department for Transport via the Bus Service Improvement Plan agreed with Hampshire County Council to better address the needs of the residents of the County.  The funding has provided the basis to enable the service to run for the next nine months on a weekly basis and development thereafter will depend on usage.

Hiring Charges

Every year we review our charges to our hirers.  We have just done this for 2026/27 and will introduce a small – below inflation – increase to our charges from 1 July.  Everyone will be aware of the big increases in the cost of diesel fuel in the last few weeks.  We will be absorbing most of these (hopefully temporary) diesel increases and we have no plans to raise our charges any higher.  Despite the price increases at the pumps, there is no shortage of fuel at present, and we are confident that we can continue to provide a full service.

Charges for our Friday Shopper service will remain unchanged at £6 for the return trip – so this will not have increased in two years.
