Connecting Langford to the Clifton Campus — The U2 bus service

Bristol Unibus

20 September 2018

Brand new Unibus service launches in Welcome Week.

Operated by First Bus, the new U2 service is open to students, staff and members of the public. The U2 makes its first journey on 24 September, providing a much-needed transport link for the local community as well as reducing the pressure of parking in Bristol. Developed in response to feedback from staff and students at the Bristol Veterinary School at Langford, the U2 will make it easier for them to make use of University facilities based across both the Clifton and Langford campuses. The service is also free for Veterinary School students.   

“We are delighted to see the launch of this new service,” said Bristol Veterinary School Manager, Dr Tom Podesta. “Not only will it make a huge difference to our staff and students but will also ease transport pressure for the local community by providing a direct link to Bristol and back.”

The U2 joins the already established U1 Unibus which has been running successfully for a year, under the current contract, taking passengers from the Stoke Bishop Transport Hub to the Clifton Campus.

 

Further information

The U2 will run hourly on week days from 8 am to 6 pm (first and final departure time) in each direction. The service will run all year round, except Bank Holidays, and between Christmas and New Year. The buses will travel from Clifton along the new South Bristol Link Road and the A38, servicing stops along the way including the Airport Tavern at Bristol Airport.
