I've also heard a suggestion that the K1/K2 change might be delayed.

So does this new junction allow buses to cross six(?) lanes of traffic to reach the Old Market sliproad on the opposite side?

Also worth noting that since the 179 disappeared, Timsbury has gained some quite draconian traffic calming and an awful lot of 20mph zoning that stretches from Bloomfield Park across to the other side of Meadgate.

The bit in to Bristol makes some sense as you can miss parts of that out and save some time. The Bath end, less so. It will only have been registered this way to please WECA that it won't represent a commercial threat to anything else. For what it's worth, i put together a timetable for another...

Following a quick road test after it's arrival this morning to make sure the Next Stop tracking was functional, TWO is already in the paint shop for greening.

Unless somebody has seen some helicopters being delivered to Parson Street...? Ambury seems to be becoming the new stop for the dumping everything that won't fit elsewhere. Since it's resurrection, 768 has utilised that stop. It's probably quicker than going in to the bus station (although at...

Seems an odd thing to do when the housing developments along there would surely be directed towards the Metrobus / T1 services on Rosedown Ave rather than trying to establish yet another route through that part of the world. If the last thirty odd years of bus services coming and going around...

I think the best way of describing it is that Abus are looking after the commercial side of it, with it running from Centurion. It's how the R2/R3 in Bath have been run for the past few years. Centurion had a school service briefly (a year?) between Midsomer Norton and St Gregorys School at Odd...

It's been a long wait to share this news, but Abus and Centurion Travel have today announced that they will be operating new service 101 from 27th July, which serves as a partial replacement for service 99 in the Chew Valley and service 2V around Norton Radstock. The new route will also provide...

The tendered timetable for the Y2C/918/622/104 - whatever it ends up getting referred to as - is really odd because it requires an extra bus only for the afternoon movement. Logically, a decker may be used for the trips that are currently 918 (which may also form an 0830 Thornbury - Yate), but...

The biggest problem with the retention of the X91 is that the Chew Valley grockles very much perceived that as THEIR bus service. I can see 100 running empty and X91 being overloaded because the committee is telling everyone to catch the latter. Such is the problem of making a small vocal group...

100 will be Bristol Centre, Temple Meads, Bedminster, Hengrove, Dundry, Chew Magna (either Chew Lane or turn at either Harford Square or Fire Station - i haven't heard a final decision on that as yet), Chew Stoke, Bishop Sutton, Chelwood Bridge, Clutton, Temple Cloud, White Cross, Hallatrow...

I don't believe Libra (or Frome for that matter) are on the WECA tendering system. The 100 was tendered without a timetable, but rather a specification for operators to submit their own. I did work on a timetable for an operator who was not successful (or may not even have bid), perhaps because...

There will be a proper public timetable out in a couple of days once the registration has been formally accepted by the CA.

Sorry, it was in response to the preceding post, but i neglected to QP it.
