First in Bath to temporarily change buses on city centre route over the summer

First Bus in Bath have advised its passengers on their service 4 route, from Weston to Odd Down via the city centre, that their buses might look different over the summer.

With a number of vehicles away in Oxfordshire on rail replacement duty, the bus operator is putting their Bath Spa Unibus double-deckers on this route.

The Bath Spa Unibus have a striking blue navy design, coupled with the university branding, compared to the usual white, pink and blue buses.

Despite the temporary change of vehicle, there will be no change to the service 4 timetable.

Andrew Sherrington, Operations Director of First Bath, said: “We want our passengers to be extra vigilant over the next few weeks regarding their buses on service 4.

“We’re wary that many people will see the double-decker, branded in Bath Spa University livery, and presume that it’s going to the campus. If you’re waiting for a service 4 bus, please check the destination screen on the front of the bus or ask the driver.

“The last thing we want to happen is for a passenger to miss their bus because of this temporary change!”

Andrew continued: “On the Bath Spa Unibus passengers can still benefit from free Wi-Fi and USB charging points so they can stay connected when they’re on the move.”
