M12 service

 

We have had to make the very difficult decision to withdraw service M12 at the end of the current school year, (10th July 2026) due to low patronage & increased operational costs.

 

We will continue to operate the M11 Pate’s service in the Stroud area with additional stops added, these will be London Road Spring Lane, Bus Depot, Brewery Lane and the Ship Inn on Brimscombe Hill.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, and would like to thank you all for travelling with us since we took over from the previous operator at short notice in February 2024.
