About this webinar
Join the Department for Transport and Active Travel England as they share an introduction to the floating bus stops provision and design guidance published in January 2026.
Floating bus stops are bus stops where a cycle track and bus stop intersect and where bus passengers, pedestrians and cyclists may interact.
The statutory guidance:
- covers the provision and design of floating bus stops
- applies to both new schemes and existing sites in England
It is the first version of the guidance issued under section 31 of the Bus Services Act 2025 and replaces the guidance on bus stop bypasses and shared use bus boarders set out in local transport note (LTN) 1/20 (section 6.6, paragraphs 8 to 11).
The floating bus stops provision and design guidance is published on GOV.UK.
