The West of England Partnership's vision to improve transport across the region

Bus

Bus services provide a vital part of our local transport network. The local authorities do not run their own bus services, but they do support a number of routes in key areas.

The 10 new showcase bus corridors

A370 Weston-super-Mare to Bristol Showcase corridor launched

Ten new showcase bus corridors (also know as the Greater Bristol Bus Network) are currently under construction across the West of England Partnership area to deliver substantial improvements in the quality of bus services.

These ten corridors serve a much wider network of bus services with over 60 different services benefiting from the improvements.



Due to the cross boundary nature of this project the scheme is being promoted by the four councils of Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol City, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, working with bus operator First.

Generically the scheme can be defined as a 'bus showcase' network comprising a range of measures that will improve the speed, reliability, comfort and image of conventional bus travel across the area. It will complement two bus showcase routes that have already been taken forward: the north-south 76 and 77 services along the A38 showcase corridor between Henbury and Hartcliffe which was completed in December 2003 and the east-west A420 corridor which has also been completed in 2007/08.
