So you have an hour wait then 2 43 in 1 min of each other ? Some very strange timetabling decisions going on.

The gas buses (city lines east and 73) are 14’ 2”

Yes the M1 is running from LH now as I said a few days ago.

Most buses (even new ones) are sorn’d now so all we have left is red ones with a few green gas buses.

Yes I understand that but to have a 45 min gap between the 43 and 45 is silly. They should have been 30 mins apart to service church road.

Oh yeah never noticed the 44 was also off. So the 45/43 leave working 15 mins of each other from the centre then you have a 45 min wait. Who the hell makes these timetables...

https://www.firstgroup.com/uploads/node_images/U2%20%28Bath%29%20weekday.pdf It is yes.

So the new timetables are out for the week starting the 5th of April and on a Saturday and Sunday the 42 is cut completely means only one bus an hour to kingswood. So by the looks of it you’ll have a 43 and a 44 leaving 15 mins apart then a 30 min gap till the next bus up church road ! All...

The M1 is temporarily transferring to Lawrence Hill as off Monday.

Lucky enough first west of England has signed off everyone with a medical condition for 12 weeks starting today, so fingers crossed we won’t hear of any more..

Lawrence Hill sadly lost one of its drivers to covid 19 yesterday, stay safe everyone and stay at home !

I’d say shortage of drivers will be a big factor. We have lost hundreds in Bristol already with many being furloughed next week.

You’re probably looking at 75% ish if the fleet in Bristol will be laid up.

I wouldn’t say anything about Mr hand he might get his lawyers on you like he threatened me with once...never happened btw. The guy is something else.

Emergency timetable out now, basically a Sunday timetable but some reduced further such as the 42 which goes to hourly ! https://www.firstgroup.com/bristol-bath-and-west/news-and-service-updates/coronavirus-covid19-service-information

It’s not just a Sunday timetable with early and late buses added by the looks of it. edit: what I meant by this is the buses are running at different times to a normal Sunday, I’d assume the full timetable will be out tomorrow?!?

Sunday service starts from this Saturday not Sunday as planned.

Yep I fully expect the buses to stop soon and most of us to be put in this 80% pay thing.

First Bristol/bath lost £1 million last week and Saturday passenger numbers where only 28% of what they normally are.

I highly doubt this. Some buses will be off tho because of illness (covid or not) but this will become a normal occurrence from here on. Edit: saw in the depot that because of this change to Saturday service tracking won’t happen on the whole.
