The first of a new generation of bus shelters in Bathwick has been installed on Warminster Road. The new shelter replaces an older model near the Minster Way junction.

Many more modern bus shelters will be installed across the city in the coming months. They are part of BathNES Council’s Bath Transport Package, a series of measures aimed to improve bus patronage. This will include the introduction of real-time passenger information at bus stops, so that those waiting will have an accurate prediction of when the next bus is due. The new shelter on Warminster Road is ready for the installation of this display.

New shelters are planned across Bathwick, mostly on Bathwick Hill. These will replace and improve existing shelters, and there will be new provision for popular stops which do not currently have a shelter. There is also a shelter ordered for the 18 stop outside the Abbey for the first time.
