Silver Rider is a frequent bus service and railway station shuttle forming part of Aylesbury's rainbowroutes network of bus services,〔http://www.rainbowroutes.co.uk〕 currently operated by local independent operator Z&S Buses〔http://www.zands.co.uk〕 and previously by Arriva Shires & Essex. It is given service number 1. ==History== The service runs between the new village of Fairford Leys to the south-west of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. Fairford Leys was built in the late 1990s and the Silver Rider service commenced in January 2004 as a dedicated service for the village, after it had been served by the diverted route 4 up until this point. By September 2006, the route was carrying around 3,000 passengers per week, and new vehicles were introduced to increase capacity.〔(BARBECUE CELEBRATES SUCCESS OF SILVER RIDER BUS SCHEME ) ''Bucks Herald'', 7 September 2006〕 It was the first service in Aylesbury to act as a dedicated railway station shuttle to Aylesbury Station, with a peak hour timetable designed to meet and wait for trains used by London commuters. Silver Rider was the second of Aylesbury's rainbowroutes to be launched, after redroute 9 commenced in the previous February. Initially operated by Arriva Shires & Essex for a period of 5 years, operations were taken over by Z&S Buses in February 2009.〔(Improvements to Aylesbury's bus network ) ''Bucks Herald'', 16 February 2009〕 As of September 2013, Silver Rider buses started serving Buckingham Park, replacing the now less frequently used Route 7 (formerly Purple Route 7).〔(All change local bus network revisions for Aylesbury ) ''Bucks County Council'', 28 August 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silver Rider (bus route)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
