Buses: heating
Posted by Mark A at 15:33, 11th February 2026
 
The weather's not exactly been warm and is set to cool down for a bit, which makes me wonder why heating on buses in Bristol and Bath is so hit and miss, with some routes provisioned with buses that either have no heating or have it disabled. Other things aside, it can't be easy for staff, some of whom look as though they're wearing every item of warm clothing that's compatible with still being able to sit on the seat in the cab.

I was on a bus out of Bath in last month's cold weather.    Some fresh air fiend got on by the Abbey and opened three of the windows with great ceremony.... and then got off four stops later!
