47 48 49
The 47 and 49 were from Staple Hill into the centre, the 48 from Downend. I think they have got rid of either the 47 or 49 now, but as I no longer live there I don't know.

Used to rely on these to get into work, catching the 0830 to get me in by 0900ish, but sometimes, the buses simply did not come, leaving a crowd of angry passengers at the stop.

What amused me was that once the bus arrived everyone would meekly board saying nothing to the driver.

The latest I ever got in was 1030, the bus didn't arrive until gone half nine and took an *hour* to get in.

i know what you mean...
I've been on a bus stop for coming upto an hour with a load of disgrunted passengers-to-be complaing between ourselves, and as the bus arrived NO ONE complained. There was a good 12 of us too.

Yeah
the 47 I think has gone not seen one in a the long periods of waiting outside the old john lewis/house of fraiser building though there seens to be more 48/49 than any of the 4 on my route for some odd reason.
