The Henleaze Society endeavours to support the needs and aspirations of all those who travel to and from the area.  This includes bus routes and timetables, cycle routes and facilities for pedestrians and leisure walkers. If you have comments, or complaints contact the relevant transport authority but we will always be glad to hear your views. Below are some of the main sources of local transport information.  They will be updated as and when it becomes necessary.
