Service 5 will be withdrawn and replaced by service 9 – please see details of service 9 below.  

• In the Worle direction, service 6 will move to the opposite side of Weston-super-Mare Interchange, and now use stand D. This is to take advantage of a scheme that will allow buses to turn left out of the Interchange and onto Alfred Street. This change will also mean that the 6 can bypass queuing traffic for Tesco and the Francis Fox Road/Station Road roundabout upon departure from the Interchange.  
• Buses on service 7 towards Worle will also move to this side of the interchange - please see below.

• There are significant changes to service 7. The southern part of the 7 will be bolstered by the addition of two new variations of the route, the 7B and 7H, that will coordinate with the main 7 service to provide a service every 15 minutes between Oldmixon, Weston General Hospital, Coronation Estate and Weston town centre. These additional services will take a quicker route from Oldmixon and the Hospital, making use of Drove Road rather than Walliscote Road and Severn Road.  

• In addition, in Weston town centre, the 7 will be re-routed away from the seafront to save time, so it can be invested in the service’s punctuality. Heading towards Worle, the 7 will now enter the Interchange from Walliscote Road and serve Stop E at the Interchange (the current route 7 stop for buses heading towards Locking Parklands). It will then make a left turn onto Alfred Street, before turning right onto The Boulevard and resuming the current route. Towards Locking Parklands, the service will operate the reverse of the above and serve Stop H in the Interchange. Note, that Stop E and Stop H have been swapped in terms of 7 destination; in simple terms, customers for the Worle direction will now need to use Stop E and not H. Customers wishing to travel towards Locking Parklands will need to use Stop H and not E. 

• The main pattern of the service (Locking Parklands to Worle) will be reduced to half-hourly. It is advised that passengers wishing to head towards Worle High Street and Worle Terminus also make use of the 6 service, which has equivalent journey times to both Worle High Street and Worle Terminus. For convenience, the 6 will also move to start its journey to Worle from Stop D in Weston Interchange, the same side of the interchange (and one stop along) as the Worle-bound 7.

• A new service 7B will operate in tandem with the 7 and will offer an enhanced frequency of buses to Weston General Hospital and Loxton Road Campus.  

• The route will operate from Weston Interchange and down Drove Road where it will pick up the current 7 route as far as Weston Hospital, and then commence a loop around Bleadon Hill, serving Burnham Drive and Totterdown Lane. This service will run hourly from around 8:30am till 6pm on weekdays.  

• The service will offer residents of Bleadon Hill direct links to Weston Hospital, Loxton Campus, and upon reaching Weston Interchange, some journeys will continue onto Worle, Clevedon and Portishead as the X5. Customers may travel to these destinations directly from Bleadon by asking for a through ticket and remaining on the bus when it arrives at Weston Interchange.

At Clevedon, journeys will serve the Walton Park/Dial Hill area during Monday – Saturday daytimes, replacing the X6 there. 

• Between Nailsea and Bristol, the service will operate via Backwell instead of Wraxall, and use the Long Ashton by-pass (instead of running via the village), as per the current X8 route, which it will replace. The service will run hourly initially, and on Sundays and evenings will operate as a modified version of the route, service X7a, that will serve Long Ashton rather than use the Long Ashton by-pass.
