Title: Bath: Faresave and First bus stop alterations - evening of the 24th June.

After an abrupt structural issue with the High Street outside the Guildhall, the roads have been closed - buses are unable to serve the Orange Grove and Abbey stops.

The road reopened by 8pm and buses back to 'Normal for Bath'. An electrical fault beneath the pavement outside Bath's Guildhall had dumped enough energy to lift paving stones. Staff were awaiting the arrival of a technician to assist with a fix - there being eight cables beneath the pavement there. The fault might be a product of Monday afternoon's unbelievable weather event.
