Bugler Coaches will be reducing their 18B bus service from 20 April. From next month it will only run during the morning peak times.

The 18B is one of the few services which runs down Bathwick Hill and over Pulteney Bridge directly into the city centre. The route was welcomed by many local residents who appreciated the direct link, lost when the Conservative council tried to close Pulteney Bridge to buses in 2010.

However, the yellow buses do not seem to have generated enough custom to be sustainable through the day. Buses will now only operate during the mornings, Monday to Friday. The last bus each day will leave the university campus for the city at 10:50.
