Transpora Bus to bring back route 23 in Bristol
04/02/2024
From the 8th of April 2024, Transpora will be operating Route 23 connecting Ashton Vale through Bedminster to the City Centre. Following the withdrawal of route 23 in 2023, the community in Ashton Vale have been left with a significant gap in bus connectivity and have since petitioned for the route to be brought back. Following the introduction of route 25 for St Pauls and St Werburghs, Transpora have been engaging with local communities that have been left without bus services such as those in Ashton Vale. However, while Transpora has hoped to work with local authorities to bring route 23 back to fruition, there was no funding available. Simon Newport, Head of Commercial at Transpora said “as a result, we have put together a service based on the gaps between existing buses”. The official timetable for route 23 can be found here.
