Transport

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.
 

Local Bus routes and timetables

U5 Services, which run through Henleaze are being extended. The service, run by Bristol Universities and bus firm Wessex Connect, has traditionally been reduced outside term time since its introduction in 2007.

But the buses will now run throughout the year as well as being rebranded - from Ulink to Wessex Red.
First Bus services through Henleaze are also being altered, partly as a result of council funding changes. There are major changes to Wessex Connect services too.

On Sundays the first journey from Hengrove towards the Centre departs at 0830 and every 30 minutes until 1730. Then operate hourly until 2130. From Southmead, Charlton Road, the first Sunday journey towards the Centre/Hengrove Depot will depart at 0943 and every 30 minutes until 1840 then hourly until 2240.

Service 54 (Cribbs Causeway - Stockwood): Monday to Friday daytime frequency is increased from every 15 minutes to every 12 minutes. There are no changes to the route.
