First Bus will be running a reduced bus service in Bristol from Tuesday 16 September - Friday 19 September 2025 due to industrial action.

First Bus has confirmed there will be a much lower level of service during the period, with more than 20 services due to be affected as a result of the action.

Services in Bath and North East Somerset, Wells, Weston-super-Mare and the wider North Somerset area will continue to operate and are not impacted by industrial action. The full Metrobus network will operate, along with buses between Thornbury and Bristol and Yate and Bristol.

The changes to bus services during this period of industrial action are expected to cause significant disruption and we encourage patients, visitors and staff attending our hospitals over the four days to consider alternative travel options and allow extra time for your journey.

Please check the First Bus website at https://www.firstbus.co.uk/bristol-bath-and-west/news-and-service-updates/updates/industrial-action for the latest information.

This means we continue to meet national standards for supporting veterans, reservists, and Armed Forces families, making sure our care is inclusive, informed, and responsive to the needs of the military community, and we’re committed to growing this support even further.

🚶‍♂️ The Walkerbot Appeal from Southmead Hospital Charity launches today! 🚶‍♀️

Southmead Hospital Charity - our official hospital charity - is aiming to raise £428,660 to bring the Walkerbot to Southmead. This pioneering robotic rehabilitation device could transform recovery for stroke patients across Bristol and the South West.

If successful, Southmead will become one of only two NHS hospitals in the UK to offer this technology, strengthening our position as a regional Stroke Centre of Excellence 💙
