The 3 will now run via Crow Lane and Wyck Beck Road instead of the 4, and the 4 will now run via Station Road past Tormarton Crescent stops instead of the 3. This is to provide better coordination of frequency (spacing of buses) along the whole route, as it makes both routes take the same amount of time end-to-end. The unique routeings through Stoke Bishop and Sea Mills will remain as they are now.

• As part of a package of improvements to Whiteladies Road services, the new Service 3 and 4 timetable will have superior coordination with services 1, 2 & 2a up and down Park Street, Whiteladies Road and Westbury Road, offering average wait times of less than 3 minutes on the common sections.

• Service 72 will have a revised timetable on all days of operation to improve punctuality.

New route map & timetable: CLICK HERE.

• We are pleased to announce we are increasing the frequency of buses between Gloucester Road, Filton Avenue and Bristol Parkway Station from September, as well as between the City Centre and Hengrove via Bedminster and Melvin Square.

• Service 74 will now serve Bristol Parkway every 15 minutes during the day, and will extend to Bradley Stoke every 30 minutes, much like the 73 does currently.

• This is part of a package of changes to our 70-series of buses, with the enhanced 74 complementing changes to the 70 and 73. The package seeks to enhance frequencies to Bristol Parkway, enhance reliability and improve service coordination along Filton Avenue. These changes are explained in more detail below:

• Service 70 will continue to operate between UWE Frenchay, Filton Avenue, Ashley Down, Cromwell Road, Stokes Croft and the City Centre. Please note, at UWE Frenchay, buses will now operate from Stand A1 rather than Stand B. South of The Centre, buses will operate to and from Temple Meads Station via Redcliffe Way, with the section of route to Hengrove via Bedminster swapped onto service 74. This allows an increase in frequency on the City Centre – Bedminster – Melvin Square – Hengrove section from every 20 minutes to every 15 minutes, and also restores the link between Temple Meads Station forecourt and UWE via Ashley Down on Sundays.

• Service 74 will now start from Hengrove Bus Depot instead of Temple Meads Station, and follow the same route as the 70 currently does via Melvin Square and Bedminster to the City Centre. As per above, the frequency on this section of route will be increased from every 20 minutes to every 15 minutes from September. Buses on the 74 will then operate via Stokes Croft, Gloucester Road and Filton Avenue as before, but after the MOD Roundabout, will operate to and from Bristol Parkway Station instead of to UWE Frenchay. This will double the frequency between Gloucester Road, Filton Avenue and Bristol Parkway Station compared to the current service 73.

• The 74 will replace this section of the 73 route (please see below), with every other bus on Monday – Saturday daytimes and all journeys on evenings and Sundays extending beyond Bristol Parkway to Bradley Stoke North via Brook Way and Willow Brook Centre. Customers travelling between Filton Avenue and UWE Frenchay should use service 70, and customers travelling between Glocuester Road and UWE Frenchay can use services 70, 72 or 73.

  Please refer to the table below and the new maps and timetables for more clarity on the new routes.

  Journey	Current Route	September onwards
  Ashley Down to City Centre	70	70
  Ashley Down to UWE	70	70
  Montpelier to Temple Meads	74	70
  City Centre / Gloucester Road / Filton Avenue to Bristol Parkway and Bradley Stoke	73	74
  City Centre to Melvin Square, Knowle, Hengrove	70	74

  New route map & timetable: CLICK HERE.

• The route will change in the north with buses operating from Gloucester Road as before as far as Filton Avenue, before then operating to and from UWE Frenchay via Lockleaze along the 72 route. The exact route will be: Lockleaze Road, Constable Road, Gainsborough Square, Romney Avenue, Dalby Street, Long Down Avenue, Wallshut Wood and Long Mead to UWE Frenchay Campus. 
• This will provide more frequent buses and more direct journey opportunities between Cheswick Village, Lockleaze, Gloucester Road and the City Centre following customer requests, as well as more direct buses between Gloucester Road and UWE Frenchay making use of the bus gate at Romney Avenue. 
• The section of the route between Filton Avenue, MOD Roundabout, Bristol Parkway Station and Bradley Stoke will be replaced by service 74 journeys. Please refer to the above section on the 70/74 for more clarity. 
• At the southern end of the route, service 73 will be extended beyond Whitchurch to operate to and from Hengrove Bus Depot on all journeys, via Whitchuch Lane and Hengrove Way. Buses won’t go into Hengrove Park, but will serve the nearby ‘The Boulevard’ stops on the main road. 
• Towards Bristol City Centre at Whitchurch, buses will no longer serve Belland Drive – please use the adjacent Dakota Drive stop instead.
