Project phases
Feb '23-May '24: more buses (in progress)
We’re trialling closing Bristol Bridge to traffic, which will allow us to create bus-only routes through the city center.
We’ve also doubled the amount of Number 2 bus services already, and will be increasing services on other routes through the city centre.
May '24-Jan '26: adding new train stations and bus stops
Once the Bristol Bridge trial period is over we will build additional bus stops throughout the city and phase in the new bus routes proposed in our plans.
We will also begin construction on new train and metro stops.
Jan '26-Jan '29: construction of overground lines
We will build two new overground train lines that will connect Bristol Airport, Cribbs Causeway, Bath, Keynsham and Emerson’s Green, with brand new stops along each route.
This will connect places like Knowle, Hengrove, St George and Kingswood with the rest of the city.
