adarby788 Â Â 10 #1 Posted October 29, 2015 This year SBP have done quite well with advertising the changes - information had been available on their site for quite a while, signs had been going up at every bus stop. They have also delivered leaflets to every house - the only thing they haven't done too well is signs on buses. All they say is 'We're joining up your bus network from 1st November' or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
northernboy   13 #2 Posted October 29, 2015 Yesterday the First drivers were giving a little card to each customer with a brief summary and where to go for more info. I still think printed timetables would be a help for older people but there is no sign of any being produced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

kazrim   10 #4 Posted October 29, 2015 I received a booklet today along with my post, informing us of the changes, new bus routes and frequencies in the area etc. It's a fantastic little booklet but it was for the West of the city (Hillsborough, Broomhill, etc) and we live in Nether Edge so not that much use to us unfortunately. It would have been great to have received one that was for the area we lived in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
