X27 bus service withdrawn

Back in March we reported that starting in April First Bus would be running a commercial service, the X46, to replace the subsidised X27 that Wessex had been running.The X46 only runs as far as Bristol bus station, not to Anchor Road.

At the time Wessex said they would continue to run the X27 as a commercial service, but with reduced frequency. However they have now announced that they are withdrawing the X27 service from 31st August.

First are amending the timetable for the 46/X46, including introducing an earlier 06:25 service from Yate arriving in Bristol at 07:17. You can find more information about bus timetables on the Traveline South West website.
