You may know that the 49 bus had it’s services doubled to every 30 mins last September. Each alternate bus is scheduled to run through Broad Hinton village via Yew Tree Lane, High St and Summers Lane, stopping at the Village Hall.
Unfortunately, Stagecoach couldn’t start the service as there were overhanging branches on Yew Tree Lane that would damage their buses. Working with Wiltshire Council Highways, we identified the problem branches and the residents worked together yesterday to cut them to the required height (5.2m above the highway).
I have emailed Wiltshire Council’s Bus Operations Manager asking to get Stagecoach to run a test and if they’re happy, we should have the service through the village, stopping at the Village Hall, starting soon.
There is a timetable and live bus map on the Parish Council’s web site - https://www.bhwbparishcouncil.org.uk/buses
