Apologies for the lack of posts. Due to the ever increasing demand of Travel updates it has been impossible to keep up to date and post.

We are changing the way that we operate this page and will now focus on Bus and Rail changes, for the Bath, Bristol and surrounding areas.

We will be renamed and rebranded.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind Regards
