Travel in the
West of England
made simple.
Leaders across the West have welcomed greater investment through today’s Spending Review, with a record three-quarters of a billion pounds of transport funding confirmed for the West. That means better buses, more trains, and mass transit – with trams and much more on the table. The Treasury has also today confirmed plans to improve rail links between Bristol and Cardiff.
Bristol’s first electrified bus depot was opened on 3 June 2025 by a government minister and the West of England’s new mayor.
The second phase of a project – to reduce congestion, improve the reliability of buses, and promote active travel along a major transport route in Bristol – will get underway from Monday 16 June 2025.
