Service Update – Demo Bus

Passengers, keep your eyes peeled for the next few weeks as you will not only have to look out for a GREEN Air Decker but you will also have to look out for a PINK double-decker! We have a demonstration bus operating our Air Decker service for the next few weeks.

Bath Bus Company wants to ensure all passengers are aware of this bus, and want to make sure there is no confusion when waiting for an Air Decker. An A4 Air Decker banner will be placed in the top window, but we kindly ask all passengers to be extra vigilant when waiting at a bus stop, and to keep an eye out for a PINK double-decker along our route as this is an Air Decker vehicle and it will stop when signaled to do so. 

Service Update – 26th January 2021

Due to the road works in place on Unity Road, Keynsham, he original bus stops will be inaccessible but temporary bus stops will be put in place. Please board and alight here, and ensure you signal for the bus for it to stop. This is for both Bath and Bristol Airport directions and is in place from 26th Jan – 29th Jan.

All other stops remain accessible, we apologies for any inconveniences this may cause.
