The m1 will run 24/7 from Sunday

- Angus MCINTYRE

BRISTOLS first 24/7 bus service is set to start this Sunday - just days before hundreds of drivers go on strike.

A bus service is set to run 24/7 from Sunday as one of a raft of changes First Bus is bringing to the Bristol bus network.

The m1 metrobus between Hengrove Park and Cribbs Causeway will now run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Buses will run half hourly.

The city’s first ever 24/7 route, along with several other changes, is being delivered in conjunction with Bristol City Council and the West of England Combined Authority.

There will also be a more regular service on the m2 route between the Long Ashton Park and Ride and the city centre, with buses every 10 minutes at weekday peak times rather than every fifteen minutes.

Night buses will be introduced on the 1 route on Monday-Saturday nights, and on the 2, 4 and 6 services on Fridays and Saturdays.
