Thank you Lee - that information on QBPs is most useful. The development of more QBPs in either voluntary or compulsory forms would seem to be a worthwhile developemnt that ought to improve the plight of public transport users.

As was expected. Independent Operator Faresaver have annouced their timetable changes in the wake of FirstGroup' changes earlier this year.

That 267 leaving at 17:09 from Frome Market Place I can see causing a problem. That is making an evening commute home a tad difficult. It used to be 17:26, then went back to 17:19 and the new time is now 17:09. Unfortunately people use this service to go home to the Bath side of Frome and beyond. There are nearly always a handful of passengers for Stonebridge and Brunel Way. Occasionally I've been the only passenger going onto Bath. However the service is very heavily loaded on the next working as it's the last return journey from Bath - Frome with Faresaver so the up Bath is more a service of convenience to the bus operator.

The service of convenience is not a bad thing actually if you think about it.

Thanks for that, thetrout   

We have already covered this announcement a while back, so i have merged your post with the original topic, so that your personal insight follows on from that.
