BUSES FROM BATH BUS STATION TO THE RUH FROME FROM 1/9/2019

From September 1st there will be major changes to the service that First Bus provides from Bath Bus Station to the RUH.

If you travel by bus from Frome and villages (covered by the D2 or x67) to the Royal United Hospital in Bath using the First’s D2/D2A or Faresaver's X67 bus, you'll need to catch the connecting bus to the RUH from a different stop from 1st September 2019. Rather than the bus leaving from within the bus station, buses to the Royal United Hospital will leave from a stop just outside on Dorchester Street stop T.

You'll want either a First Bus 3A or a 4 headed for Weston. They will both depart from the same bus stop outside the bus station in Bath. Between the two, there will be a bus scheduled every 10 minutes. First Bus have made this change to help improve service reliability, and also to offer a direct service from more residential areas in Bath to the hospital without a change of vehicle.

As the bus services to the hospital will now run from Dorchester Street at stop T rather than the bus station, they will no longer be displayed on the "next departures" screen within the bus station.

Fares and fare options do not change with First Bus ‘day’ tickets being valid on both your D2/D2A bus into Bath Bus Station,(the bay where you get off /on the D2/D2A has changed - it's now Bay 8) and from there to the hospital too. Concessionary passes continue to be valid on all services mentioned after 09:30 (and time of day at the weekend)

Please note - if you are used to catching bus no. 4 from within the bus station to the RUH from bus stop 4, from September it will be the service 4 going in the other direction that calls at Bay 4 in the Bus Station in the future - still the number 4, but it would take you to Odd Down and not to the RUH.

You can get a £7 First Bus Day Rider ticket that allows you to go on the D2 / D2A to Bath bus station and then on 4 or 3A to the RUH.

So from September 1st your bus to the RUH (whether it’s the 4 or 3A (headed for RUH and Weston) will depart from outside the bus station on Dorchester Street on stop T
