We are pleased that action taken by Don Foster MP has helped to save the The Number 20A/C bus service that is used by by local people in going about their daily lives and to be able to carry out their shopping. The Service is also part of an important link for some of our schools and the University of Bath.
Many of our more elderly residents and those with health problems use the service to get to the RUH.
A New service that covers the same route as the one that has been run by first bus and will have the same numbering Wessex Connect from 11th May 2009.
Bath & North East Somerset council will be supporting the new service have managed to secure bigger, low-floor buses that will increase trip capacity in the morning and afternoon peak times.
Although we welcome the new buses we do have a few concerns about how they will manage the narrow streets that the smaller buses have been able to get through with some ease and we hope that journey time will not be increased.
On a down side the last three journeys on the number 20A/C services will no longer operate and single fares will increase by 10%
