Faresaver will withdraw their  Service 12 that operates between Haycombe Cemetery and Bath city centre on Mondays to Fridays; and terminate the contract they operate on behalf of the Council for the Saturday service on the route.

The Council has made emergency arrangements for Bugler Coaches to operate Service 12 on Mondays to Saturdays from 2 June 2011 until March 2012.

On Mondays to Saturdays, Service 12 will operate every 40 minutes from 0900 to 1500, with a break at lunchtime. On Saturdays, buses will run later until 1620. All buses will operate via Dartmouth Avenue in both directions (as currently happens on Saturdays and Sundays). On Sundays & Bank Holidays, Service 12 will continue to be operated by First and there will be no change to the timetable.

New timetable leaflets are being produced and they will be distributed in the week before the changes take place. Timetable information for all local bus services is available from Traveline at www.traveline.info or telephone 0871 200 2233 (calls cost 10p per minute plus network charges).
