Formulating the plans for a rapid travel revolution
October 30, 2025
|Western Daily Press
HOW people travel between Cheltenham and Gloucester could change radically in the future under plans which could see a rapid bus link with services every ten minutes.
Gloucestershire County Council leaders are expected to earmark £1.25m next week to provide funds for developing a business case and early scheme development programme for mass rapid transit between the city and spa town.
Mass rapid transit refers to a high-capacity, high-frequency public transportation system for urban areas.
Council chiefs say it would provide high-quality, zero-emission, high frequency public transport across central Gloucestershire.
A map included in the report suggests it could ultimately link Bishop's Cleeve with Quedgeley via Cheltenham and Gloucester.
Mass rapid transit sits at the heart of the county's planned express bus network and would improve access to public transport to Cheltenham and Gloucester as well as the surrounding rural areas.
