If bath has the amount of overtime that LH or hengrove has then I wouldn’t worry. We’re short of driver across the west right now.

The 44/45 weren’t full most of the time as there is so many 43s to do the grunt work up church road. That short 45 was a waste of fuel in my opinion and it’s good it’s gone. 1602851347 Also see that the 43 has been increased to every 10 mins on a Saturday from the centre to kingswood (but...

The short 45s to the butchers arms have also been withdrawn. That’s a good thing as it was a pointless service.

So no u3 back at night from the centre to uwe? So the 70 is expected to do all the grunt work again, with a capacity of 34. Awful planning.

You’re right as according to hengrove drivers not all were sent to the airport originally.

If you was to change from a 18(as it terminates at cecil road now)/19 to the 42/3 you’d do that at Cecil road. No walking required from that stop !

From our weekly news letter. ”The new norm from Monday coming is 50% of the seats are able to be used. This significantly changes things. We are re-organising and re- marking the fleet over the week -end with new layouts for every bus and new signs for the entrance. With the new arrangements...

From Monday we’ll be back up to 50% capacity on our buses.

I’ll try and get the exact figure when I’m in the depot but; 1/2 34 3/4 15 6/7 12 17 5 42/43 19 44/45 12 48/48a/49 25 73 9 again all are a rough estimate as it’s been 12 weeks since a normal run out !

New timetable from the 14th June now live on firsts website. Can’t see any differences tho (must admit only looked at the 42/3 timetable)

From this Monday most services in Bristol will be back up to around 80% of their normal mon-fri timetable. Should expect a announcement soon.

None of this has happened yet.

By tomorrow most buses in Bristol will have seats tapped off for social distancing ok told the new capacity is 22 (at least for the gas buses)

It’ll be interesting to see how the buses cope on Wednesday when many more people get go back to work.

But the issue is you get some driver who will do anything for an easy life so the one behind will wait round so they pick no one up ! I’m not saying all drivers are like this but I know many who are and this situation will only make them more selfish.
