TRUE LOVE THREATENED BY 267 BUS CUTS

The evening midweek 267 allows recently engaged couple, Bath-based Laura and Frome’s Adrian, to see each other and do whatever young couples in love get up to.

During the day these two both are working very hard to save for the day they’ll walk down the aisle together. So they rely on the evening 267 to bring them together....

Cuts to the 267 evening buses in September would mean they wouldn’t be able to see each other. Trains aren’t an option as the railway stations are simply too far to walk, most especially late at night. Taxis aren’t an option either .. totally unaffordable.

So cuts to the evening midweek 267 would end night time trysts for Laura and Adrian.

All set for another evening's surveying on the 267

We will be surveying Monday to Thursday on all 4 evening buses that are funded by Bath & North East Somerset Council

We apologise to bus users in advance as you may be asked to take part in the survey. If you are travelling everyday this week you will be asked to take the survey more than once.

I gave my first ever speech at a Travel Watch South West event on Saturday. I appealed for like minded people to join us in setting up a working party to help save and improve Somerset's bus services.  Some key points made by another speaker shown in one of the photo's

Frome and villages bus users group - Favbug  will be surveying Monday to Thursday on all 4 evening buses from 2000 until 2310

I would like to thank all of our volunteers who offered to help favbug members to survey.

Favbug committee members Tracey Harding and Peter Travis will be surveying for all 4 nights. We will be joined on 2 of those nights by fellow favbug committee member and Frome Town councillor Tricia Golinski

New bus service to Frome Medical centre

Residents feared how they would be able to access a Gp after the closure of the Locks Hill surgery.
Residents who used the Locks Hill surgery were told that they would have to use the Frome medical practice on the other side of town. For those that don't drive they feared that they would have to use expensive taxis to access Frome Medical Centre.

Andy Young who owns Frome Minibuses has stepped into help by re routing his 30 service to stop close to the Frome Medical Centre

The service runs every thirty minutes and includes stops at Keyford, The Mount, Locks Hill and the Market Place. New Timetable can be found here http://s101282612.websitehome.co.uk/frome/
