Road Closures Sunday 19th November 2017

Due to two cranes in Bath city centre, there will be road closures and diversions that will affect the A4 Air Decker service Sunday, 19th November 2017.

The first diversion in place will be in affect from 09:00am for approximately 6 hours and means the service will be unable to serve the stop on Avon Street. Instead passengers are advised to use the stop at Westgate Buildings.

The second diversion will be in place from 18:00 until 01:00. Manvers Street will be closed during these hours so the service will be turning around in Bath Bus Station and departing from outside of the station at the stop closest to the First Group Information Centre. This means that during the hours of the diversion, the service will be unable to serve the stops on Dorchester Street and Terrace Walk (Bog Island).
