Changes to D1X bus service to Bath

The 0805 D1X bus service from Manor Farm/The Rising Sun will be running 1/2 hour earlier at 0734. from the 6th of September. This is to suit its service as a schools transport bus and so will have to fit in with the school timings. There will also be a D1X running at the same times (approx).

The next bus through North Bradley will be at 1020 and will be two buses as it has to cater for the college students of which they expect a big increase.
