Service changes from 25th July 2010
Most of the changes listed below result from the decisions by Swindon Borough Council to withdraw financial support for services 15, 18 & 23 and Wiltshire Council to reduce funding for rural services due to budgetary pressures. Without financial support we are unable to carry on running the routes concerned in the same way as before, because they would no longer be profitable for us.
We have tried to minimise the impact on customers in the town by re-organising several routes and diverting others. This has been done in co-operation with the Borough Council, who agreed that we could make changes to some of the routes they are supporting.
We are sorry if these changes mean you have to walk further to reach your bus service or the times are less convenient for you. We have carried out on-bus loading surveys so that we had detailed up-to-date information about the use of our buses and we believe that after the changes we will still cater for the majority of the demand for our services.
As ever, we welcome feedback about your experiences so we can in due course review how these changes are settling in. You can contact us via the feedback page on this website or write to us at Barnfield Road, Swindon, SN2 2DJ.
