Title: Replacement buses Bath to Chippenham Post by: philipgreg on August 03, 2015, 20:15:33 First day of buses! Morning was fine with journey taking 45 mins but coming home this evening took 1:30 with first hour just to get out of Bath. Would be quicker to walk! Wish I hadn't bought weekly season or I'd be driving and using P&R.

Title: Re: Replacement buses Bath to Chippenham Post by: philipgreg on August 03, 2015, 22:22:45 The Widcombe changes and the London road plus emergency gas works on London road.

I was on the 18.30 bus out of Bath to Bradford-on-Avon and of course by that time the traffic had thinned out somewhat. I went nowhere near Widcombe though (relatively) did your bus go through there? Title: Re: Replacement buses Bath to Chippenham Post by: philipgreg on August 04, 2015, 23:02:25 This was the 17:00 and yes the route was Widcombe pultney road, clevland bridge, London road.
But today the 7:45 bus broke down just outside Corsham. A "rescue" bus was dispatched except it was just the next bus nearly full so half our bus didn't get on, luckily I did but don't know what happened to the others. on the way home I tried the 16:45 bus and slight improvement at only 1 hour 10 mins. After this weeks season ticket is finished I will be driving. This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
