The borders of B4RN are constantly changing, but to get a rough idea of where service is currently available, see the bright green areas on the map below. The blue areas represent the communities which are currently planning or actively extending the B4RN network. If you zoom out, you’ll also see our projects in the Allen Valleys, Cheshire and East Anglia.
Beneath the map you’ll find a list of some of the communities involved with B4RN and an indication of roughly where they’re up to. Some projects may appear in more than one list (for example, communities where one B4RN route is live may still be building other routes).
To find out if service is already available in your area, or that it is in planning, please head over to our Get B4RN page and simply enter your postcode.
