Bus times from Bowerhill into the centre of Melksham, and on to Bath, changed at the start of September with a new First Bus timetable. It's mostly good news, with the two buses an hour now being more evenly spread, and a late afternoon bus available soon after 5 p.m. Bad news is the loss of Sunday evening services.

Times given from Melksham are from Bowerhill. All services leave the Market Place from 7 to 12 minutes later for Bath.

First run from Kingfisher Drive to Bath:
Monday to Friday at 06:47 07:09 07:56 09:20 10:20 11:20 12:20 13:20 14:20 15:20 16:20 17:25 19:05 20:00 22:21

At last - common sense .... we've no longer got 2 buses 3 minutes apart, then a 57 minute gap!
