Cuts in Dursley - Gloucester bus service
The hourly bus from Dursley to Gloucester was cut to every two hours in August 2018, resulting in huge impacts on people who commute for work, education or hospital appointments, as well as those who use this service to get to and from Cam Station. CDTG is happy to report that after heavy lobbying there will be a partial restoration of the service.
From Monday 26 November, Stagecoach bus 66F will provide a peak-time service from Dursley to Gloucester, supplementing the existing journeys of Stagecoach bus 60. The new peak-time service will run as follows on weekdays: departing Dursley Bus Station at 07:13 and running via Cam, Frampton-on-Severn and Quedgeley to Gloucester, arriving at 08: 37. In the evening, return buses will leave Gloucester at 17:00 and 18:00. On Saturday the morning bus leaves Dursley at 07:18 and the return bus leaves Gloucester at 17:30. You can view the new timetable here.
CDTG has campaigned hard to get this service restored, meeting with residents, County Councillors, Dursley Town Council, MP David Drew and Stagecoach. We will continue to monitor the new peak-time service and will try to get the fuller service restored. You can still sign our online petition here. Please also contact your Gloucestershire County Councillor; GCC is responsible for bus provision and they have the power to find a way to restore this service. If you do not know who your councillor is, you can look that up online here.

New posters at Cam Station!
CDTG has worked with students at Rednock School to get photographs of the surrounding area installed at Cam Station. As regular users of the station now, there is very little information at the station. These new poster-sized photographs will give visitors and locals a like an idea of the vibrant towns and beautiful countryside around the station. CDTG is grateful to Cam Parish Council and Dursley Town Council, who provided small grants to support this project, and GWR, who arranged for the poster cases to be installed and for the photographs to be enlarged. GWR also provided travel vouchers to students whose photographs were selected. You can read more about this project here.
