A ‘new’ bus service that comes into operation from Monday 2nd September will restore a direct link from stops in south Bradley Stoke to Bristol Parkway, with onward connections from there to Southmead Hospital. The Stagecoach 71 service, renumbered from the present 3X, will travel along Bradley Stoke Way on its route from the Aztec West Business Park to the railway station.

Bradley Stoke will have a differently numbered ‘all stops’ bus service from Sunday 1st September when the 73 service disappears from the town and is replaced by an extended version of the current 74 service.

Bradley Stoke’s 73 bus service will see its route altered for the third time in just over two years when a new timetable comes into effect on Sunday 7th April.

Timetables published this week confirm that the 73 bus service will be extended to terminate at the Approach Road stop in the Aztec West Business Park from Sunday 3rd September. However, on weekdays fewer than a third of journeys will go as far as Aztec West, with these being at off-peak times only (arriving between 10:23 and 14:57). There are also changes to the stops used by the service near Temple Meads Station.

Bradley Stoke’s 73 bus service is to be transformed into a cross-city link from September and will additionally serve the Aztec West Business Park at off-peak times. Currently operating between north Bradley Stoke and Bristol Temple Meads Station, the 73 service will be merged with First’s 92 service, which currently runs between the city centre and Hengrove.

Bradley Stoke’s 73 bus service, which has had its route truncated twice over the last 18 months, is to have a small part of its former route reinstated from September 2023, subject to regulatory approval. Operator First West of England is proposing to slightly extend the 73’s route so that it once again serves the full length of Woodlands Lane – but only at off-peak times.
