Warning for 267 commuters

Any commuter who catches the 1810 bus back from Bath  at present could be caught out by the new times from 24th of April,  the time has been altered to 1910. If you happen to miss the 1730 bus I hope that the Cafes are still open as you will have to wait until 1910 for the next bus

Quick update for 267 users

From the 24th April the 267 will not be making any route changes so will still serve Green Lane

Up date for bus pass users

From the 1st April you will not be able to use your bus pass before 9.30 am  from Mon - Fri . The free companion element is also being removed from the 1st of April so if you travel with a companion / carer they will have to pay full fare
Concessionary Card Holders, can remain using their passes at any time on a Weekend. Only Mon-Fri has changed from 09:00 to 09:30.

Threat to 267 evening buses

It has been confirmed that the Bath to Frome 2010 bus has been cut by First bus, this service will cease to operate from 24th April. With B&NES needing to reduce 38 million in funding are more cuts going to happen next year.


http://www.fromestandard.co.uk/Fears-late-night-bus-Bath-evening-service-cut/story-28891170-detail/story.html

I would urge bus users to contact their local councillors and Mp to inform them how much cuts to this bus would affect you before it is lost.
