Due to flooding, we have disruption on the network.
Update 08:30 26th November. Route 376 has now resumed normal route to and from Yeovil. Other services remain on diversion or are curtailed as per below.
Bath - Bathford - Bradford-on-Avon - Trowbridge area:
Due to flooding on various parts of the route, services D1 and D1x are significantly disrupted.
Service D1 is currently diverting from Bath Bus Station and operating directly to Trowbridge Railway Station via Midford and the A361, before running the normal line of route towards Warminster. Buses from Warminster towards Bath are operating their normal route as far as Trowbridge, Trinity Church and then diverting non-stop to Bath via the A361 and Midford. Buses on the D1 cannot serve Bathampton, Limpley Stoke, Winsley, Bradford on Avon or Trowle Common.
Buses are running to the timetable, with delays.
Please note: the only stop being served in Bath City Centre is Bath Bus Station.
Service D1x is currently operating a shuttle service from Bath Bus Station via the London Road, A4, Box village, Bathford and normal route via Sally in the Wood to Bradford on Avon Christchurch (top of town). The bus will then go down New Road to the roundabout and back up the hill, then to Winsley and back to cover the D1 route, then return to Bath. This is a shuttle service running approximately hourly, and is not running to the usual times.
Buses forming the 20.10 journey from North Bradley to Bath, and 20.56 and 00.03 journeys from Trowbridge to Bath, arrive in Trowbridge/North Bradley as a D1 on their previous journeys from Bath. Therefore, these journeys will serve Trowbridge, and then divert as per the D1 above via the A361 and Midford to Bath, not serving Bradford on Avon, Winsley, Batheaston or the London Road into Bath.
Service 3 is unable to serve Bathford due to flooding at Bathford Bridge. Buses are terminating on London Road at the Morris Lane stop at present, using the roundabout to turn around. The D1x shuttle is passing through Bathford along Bathford Hill and the High Street.

All stops between Cherry Garden Lane to Chelsea Road (towards Bath)/The Weston (towards Bristol Parkway) inclusive, through Bitton, Swineford and Kelston, cannot be served.
Buses will be delayed by the length of the diversion.
Service OS1 is also affected and will follow the same diversion between Newbridge and Willsbridge, but will additionally serve Oldfield School.

Buses towards Bristol will operate the same diversion in reverse.
Delays are expected along the route due to this and other weather-related network delays.
