Loss of bus services will create a ‘massive hole in communities’

Two key Bristol bus routes are set to be lost in April. The 506 and the 516 - both run by the Lemon Bus Company - will stop running after local authority subsidies are scrapped.

The move is part of the council’s retendering process for bus services in the city. The result will see 42 bus services in the west disappear.

Two of them are services run by the LBC - the 506 and the 516. But the firm has been awarded a contract to continue the 515 park and ride from Long Ashton to Southmead, which it plans to convert into a fully-electric vehicle by the end of the year.
