Service A1 heading towards Bristol Airport will operate normal route as far as Lime Kiln Roundabout. It will then go down Colliters Way and join the A370 to Congresbury where it will follow the B3133 though to Brinsea Road and Stock Lane back onto the A38 and follow the road to the Airport from the other side. This will be towards Bristol as well.

Bus stops by Lime Kiln Roundabout will be served. Unfortunately we will be unable to serve stops between and including Yanley Lane and The Airport Tavern.

Due to the length of the diversion, delays are expected, so please allow extra time for your journey.

Manvers Street / Bridge Street, Bath - Road Closures - Various services - starting 26.05.26

Manvers Street and Bridge Street in Bath city centre will be closed from Tuesday 26th May for three weeks. After this, Bridge Street will re-open, but Manvers Street will remain closed until November 2026 for major works to rebuild the road above historic vaults. Services 2, 3, 4, 6/6a/7, 13, 20, D1/D1x, U1, U1N and U3 will be affected.

Due to the long term nature of this closure, we are treating it as a service change rather than ad-hoc diversions. Timetables, app tracking and online Journey Planning data will be updated to reflect the changes.

Revised timetables are now available - please check the Forthcoming tab on the timetables section of the website. The timetables are headed as starting from 31st May, but will apply from 26th May (this is due to the mid-week start of the roadworks - apologies for any confusion).
