Service Changes affecting buses running from Bristol Bus Station from 29 November 2009

Over recent months the changes in the wider economy have meant that peoples travel patterns have changed. To reflect this and better match our resources to current demand, were making some changes to local bus services from 29 November.

Services X10, X11, X14 - Bristol - Magor and Bristol - Newport: These services will run in two sections - Bristol to Chepstow and Chepstow to Magor/Newport with through fares, guaranteed connections and no requirement for through passengers to change buses. There will also be minor changes to the timetable to improve punctuality.

Service X39 - Bristol - Bath: In line with customer demand, on weekday mornings, buses from Bristol Bus Station between 0800 and 1000 will run every 15 minutes instead of every 12 minutes. Buses from Bath Bus Station between 0700 and 0900 will also run every 15 minutes.
