This service will now run at least every 30 minutes throughout the day, including peak times. (Mon- Sat daytime)

Service 6 - Centre - Kingswood/ Longwell Green

There are minor changes to the timetable with buses more evenly spaced at peak times. This means that there will be a bus every 15 minutes throughout the day on Monday " Friday. Some peak journeys will no longer run as a result.

The route around Staple Hill is changing giving additional buses for residents around Page Park. This route alteration is due to a change in the terminus point to improve safety and reduce congestion.
