First Bus is launching two new express services to #Uxbridge from High Wycombe and #Slough from Monday 2 March. The M40 express will link High Wycombe and Uxbridge every 30 minutes, taking around 20 minutes and providing a faster, direct alternative to driving. The X74 service from Slough will be extended to #Uxbridge via Uxbridge Road, cutting journey times to about 20 minutes and offering a one-fare, direct trip for commuters. George Burton, Head of Network, said the services offer a simple, reliable, and stress-free option, connecting key Buckinghamshire towns with north west #London and local #Underground lines.

"If you ask the Americans, they'll say that the #GT40 is an American car, designed and built in America - well, it wasn't," says #Slough historian Jaye Isherwood.

"It was built in the UK, it was built in Slough, and it was a Slough product."
