NEW D2 / D2X TIMETABLE FROM 3rd SEPTEMBER
First Bus have published their new D2 / D2x timetable which starts from Sunday September 3. I
https://www.somersetbuspartnership.co.uk/d2 ( We have set up this link as some people can't access the First Bus timetable link below)
https:www.firstbus.co.uk/sites/default/files/public/maps/D2_D2x--A4_Timetable_Bath_web%20%281%29.pdf
We fed back your feedback to First Bus on the current timetable and some of the improvements have been included in the new timetable. However, bus timetables are incredibly complicated as they interwork with other bus driver duties, bus driver breaks etc. So First Bus can’t accommodate all the improvements you wanted.
Please do let us know your thoughts on the new D2 / D2x bus timetable. We think it’s an improvement on the current timetable.
The best way of getting an even better bus service is by using it more!
Travel for free on the D2 or D2x on the 1st June just hope on and ride. Try to take the D2x at busier times as it's a double decker so will have more seats. Hopefully all of the buses will be busier than usual and we can convert some car users to use the bus for good.
The £2 bus fare cap has been extended until the end of October. With additional funding announced to support bus services in England. From he 1st November fares will go up to £2.50 for 12 months before being reviewed to help with the cost of living

Someone complained to Frome town council about some bus timetables up at the stops being out of date
All bus timetables have a date above them saying valid from the date shown on them. In the case of some of the smaller operators who don't change as frequently the date can go back several years. The 162 has a date saying valid from 13/6/16 but is still in date as the service hasn't changed since that date.
If in any doubt about your bus timetables being in date check the bus operators website or give them a call.
