 IMPORTANT NEWS ON FROME BUS - 30 FROME TOWN BUS

Statement by Frome Bus:

'We took over operating route 30 from First  Group nine years ago when they were no longer able to do it. Since then we have continued to operate the route reliably until recently when as you are aware it has become increasingly difficult to maintain proper schedules due to the current industry wide shortage of drivers. nfortunately this situation doesn't look like improving in the short to medium term,  and as we have no desire to provide a  patchy unreliable service to you, it's with great regret that we have decided to give notice of our intention to terminate this route; the last day of operation will be Saturday 20th August 2022.

We thank you for your patience over the last month or so whilst we have struggled to maintain services and we assure you we will do our very best to provide a reliable service up to and including the last day of operation. 

In the meantime we are currently in discussion with Somerset County Council, with a view to then providing some sort of alternative service and we will advise you straight away when we have a better idea of what's happening.

FAVBUG understands that all other Frome Bus routes serving Frome and neighbouring towns will continue,

We are very aware that Frome Bus has done everything possible to recruit more bus drivers and they continue to look for more bus drivers. Other bus operators are similarly in need of more bus drivers.

If you know anyone who would like to work for Frome Bus as a bus driver please do give them a call: 01373 471474

Please note that the 30 will operate all morning until 1234 today, Thursday 21st July 2022.  Unfortunately it looks unlikely that the service will run this afternoon
