There was concern locally when some eagle-eyed people spotted that First Bus were deregistering the 82 bus service. However, Pat Hockey, the Lib Dem Transport lead member, has investigated and all is well.
Pat said, "I spoke to First’s Managing Director, James Freeman. In order to make bus services more reliable the timetables have been
investigated and some of them found to be totally unrealistic in view of
the traffic congestion. This has resulted in changes to
timetables. The new timetables have to be registered with the Traffic
Commissioners and will start on March 29th. The existing services have
to be deregistered to accommodate this and include the 82."
"There is absolutely no intention to stop the Southmead services. The aim is to make them reliable. Before the changes come in I am assured there will be full publicity."
