Transport: Bristol and Stroud
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to improve transport links between Bristol and Stroud.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Funding has been allocated to local authorities to improve bus services in the regions, which includes £8 million of funding for Gloucestershire County Council. Rail journeys between Bristol and Stroud require passengers to change at Gloucester or Swindon. Whilst there are currently no plans to change service patterns in the area Great Western Railway (GWR) increased services between Gloucester and Bristol from 2023 which provides more journey opportunities for passengers seeking to travel between Stroud and Bristol.
