The helpful bus users site Frome And Villages Bus User Group - Favbug has updated its guidance on how and where to catch the buses as the work on the centre has overrun.

Given that Frome Market Place closure will continue for another week, they have updated their helpful list as follows:

All buses (apart from the First Bus D2 and the Faresaver x34) stop in Cork Street rather than Frome town centre.

FIRST BUS D2 - WHERE YOU CAN CATCH THE BUS?

The D2 is taking a different route via the Frome train station due to the Frome Town Centre redevelopment. Dues to the diversion taking longer the bus route has slightly changed.

TRAVELLING FROM FROME TO BATH

The D2 will not stop in Cork Street in Frome Town Centre when the bus is going in the Frome to Bath direction. You will need to catch the bus instead either at the Memorial Theatre or The Cornerhouse Pub / Gorehedge (near the top of Gentle Street) to drop off / pick up passengers as it continues towards Bath.

If you need to get to Frome Town Centre, bus uses will then have to walk down to town or can cross over the road to get to the other bus stop and board the Frome Bus 30 or 53 to Cork Street.

TRAVELLING FROM BATH TO FROME SAINSBURY'S DIRECTION

The D2 will only go via Cork Street in Frome Town Centre when heading in the Bath to Frome Sainsbury's direction.

WHERE CAN I CATCH THE FARESAVER X34?

Due to the Frome town centre redevelopment work to start and end point of the x34 route is slightly altered. You can catch the bus to Trowbridge from Fromefield near Berkley Road. The x34 bus also terminates near the hospital.

Work on the town centre is due to finish on September 25.
