First West of England has confirmed its bus timetables over the Christmas and New Year period.

There will be no First Bus services across the entire area on Christmas Day, and other services will be affected from Christmas Eve through to Tuesday 2nd January. Customers are advised to visit the First Bus website for the latest information on festive timetables.

First West of England, Cymru and Worcester's Managing Director Doug Claringbold said: "We recognise that customers want transport during the festive period, but it's also important that we give our hard-working drivers some well-earned down time to celebrate with their family and friends.

"I'd like to thank all our customers who have travelled with us during the past year and wish you, and our future customers, a merry Christmas and a great new year, and we look forward to transporting you across our region in 2024 and beyond."
