Not sure when this service stopped running to Cribbs Causeway and settled on Parkway instead. Was it last autumn that some funding allowed the 19 bus's frequency to be upped to half hourly? Anyway, the funding for that has dried up and it's now back to sort of hourly and an earlier finish. Anecdote not data, having caught it a few times when its frequency had been increased, passenger numbers had responded.

According to an unreliable source
Route Changes: Historically linked Bath to Cribbs Causeway, the 19 was modified in January 2023 to terminate at Bristol Parkway Station, with the M4 MetroBus covering the rest of the route.
Service Frequency: Funding fluctuations have caused the service to alternate between half-hourly and hourly frequencies. An increase in frequency was reversed due to lack of funding, with First Bus reporting hourly service in April 2026.
Current Service: The route primarily connects Bath Bus Station to Bristol Parkway, with revisions in 2021 and 2026 updating access to areas like Charlton Hayes and adjusting operating hours
