The £3 bus fare cap is a government initiative aimed at making bus travel more affordable across England. Under this scheme, single bus fares are capped at £3 until the end of 2025. This cap ensures that no single bus fare on participating routes exceeds £3, helping passengers save money on their journeys by bus. The initiative is part of a broader £1 billion investment to improve bus services, making them more reliable and accessible.

From March 16th 2025, the Gateway Shuttle will run every 15 minutes from 5am-11pm.
We recognise that since EMG Shuttle first started operating in September 2019, East Midlands Gateway has experienced significant growth, leading to a variety of shift patterns starting and ending at different times throughout the day. To give more employees the option to use the shuttle bus and to make it easier for them to travel between the bus interchange and their workplace, SEGRO has decided to extend the service times.
We’ll be monitoring the demand for the service as East Midlands Gateway continues to develop, to ensure it remains available and accessible for most people working onsite.

New Shared Footpath Opening
This Spring, there will be a new shared footpath from the West of the site connecting with Castle Donington. This means that anyone living in Castle Donington will have easy access to work by foot or bike – give it a go once it opens!
You might have seen the new electric shuttle bus making its way around the site since it started operating in September 2019. The EMG Shuttle is perfect for those needing a quick connection to the bus interchange and it’s completely free to use. It operates from 5:00am – 11:00pm, 7 days week. As the service departs the bus interchange every 15 minutes, you’re less likely to have a manic rush when making a journey to work.
