After 2 months of no full bus service to Keynsham, the new 19A service will be launching on Monday 14th November 2016 - just over a week away! It will be operating Monday to Saturday, until around 8pm and the 19 will continue to operate on all days, including Sundays & Public Holidays.
There are no changes to the route of Service 19.
Similar to the 19, service 19A will operate between Cribbs Causeway and Bath. The route of the 19A is the same as the 19 service between Cribbs Causeway and The Grange School/Warmley. After this area, towards Bath, the 19A will use North Common (Mill Lane & Cloverlea Road area), then Oldland Common (High Street only), Willsbridge (Kenilworth Drive), Keynsham, then Bath Hill towards Saltford and then Bath.
Unfortunately, even after much begging by myself, First and South Gloucestershire Council will only operate the 19A through Oldland Common High Street, where there is now a bus stop. The 19A will not operate through the Oldland Village area - it will not serve the 4 stops along North Street and West Street. The nearest stops are The Dolphin in Oldland, or the High Street.
The 19 and 19A will operate hourly, but will operate around half hourly apart where the routes are the same (between Cribbs Causeway and Warmley/The Grange).

GOOD NEWS FOR BITTON, KELSTON & SWINEFORD RESIDENTS TOO - Due to the new 19A that will operate via Keynsham, service 37 will change back to it's former Bristol to Bath route via Longwell Green & Kelston, rather than it's new route from Bristol to Bath via Longwell Green, Keynsham & Saltford.
This means that Bitton, Swineford and Kelston will re-gain it's direct connection to the centre of Bristol.
There will be no loss in frequency of service from these villages to Bath. Although the 19A will operate via Keynsham to Bath, the 19 will continue to serve these areas, and once again, the 37 will too.
This is the final update, meaning the petition is closed once again. Thank you all very much for your support!
