We're still seeing a lot of complaints on Twitter about issues with the T1 express bus service which passes through Bradley Stoke on its route between Thornbury and Bristol city centre.
The service attracted a lot of positive comment when it started back in May, but things seem to have gone downhill over the summer, with 'no shows' and buses sailing past stops because they are full (possibly as a result of a previous 'no show').
Following a recent timetable change, First has been "doubling up" to use two buses on some peak time journeys and there were one or two positive reactions to this on Twitter. However, we now seem to be back to the same old complaints of cancelled journeys (see our log here: bit.ly/2pxbmid).
We have contacted First for comment and are planning to run a report in our October magazine.
What are your experiences of using the T1 service? Have you been affected by cancelled journeys and buses that don't stop? Are the issues restricted to peak times? Please share your views via a comment on this post.

Plans for a 'new neighbourhood' just south of Bradley Stoke are progressing. A 'site inspection' meeting for one of the two main planning applications takes place today (Friday 21st September).
The East of Harry Stoke New Neighbourhood site was allocated for development when South Gloucestershire Council’s Core Strategy was adopted in December 2013 and housebuilder Crest Nicholson submitted the two planning applications in August 2016. One application is for land south of the Great Western mainline railway and the other for land north of it.
Full story: www.stokegiffordjournal.co.uk/2018/09/20/plans-build-1600-homes-east-stoke-gifford-decision-soon/
So-called ‘site inspection meetings’, attended by councillors who sit on the committee which will eventually determine the applications, are to be held in the coming weeks, with the first, for the application south of the railway, taking place this Friday (21st September).
The meeting point for Friday’s meeting, which is open to the public, is at the junction of the Stoke Gifford Transport Link and Oxleigh Way (entrance to Highbrook Park). Councillors are expected to arrive for the meeting at 10.45am. An ‘issues for consideration’ report prepared ahead of the meeting may be viewed under item 11 of the agenda.
