918 Bus

South Gloucestershire Council has worked with families from The Castle School to secure funding for the 918 bus to continue running until July 2026!

The bus runs from Severn Beach to Thornbury every weekday morning, returning in the late afternoon. Most passengers are travelling to The Castle School, but the service is open to everyone. For timetable and route information see: https://bustimes.org/services/918-severn-beach-pilning-almondsbury-tockington-th

The 918 exists because of an ongoing campaign by parents to maintain a bus service on this route, so that children can get to school. Thanks are due to everyone who completed the recent survey, which was important in securing another year of funding. The parents' campaign will continue for a long term solution to keep the bus running in future years.
