There is also usually a butchers van.

Centrebus provide services UHL (Hospital Hopper), Orbital 40 and route 154.

A new Park and Ride (P&R) hub is due to be developed on land north of the shopping centre with construction planned for late 2024. However the development of this is uncertain as original plans proposed in 2021 for a P&R and a bus lane corridor connecting the bus terminus and the neighbouring village of Anstey failed to come to fruition.
