Hospital and University Bus Shuttle (HUBS)

The HUBS service provides a link for staff and visitors of the University and United Bristol Healthcare Trust (UBHT) between the University of Bristol, Bristol Temple Meads Train Station, the city centre, Bristol General Hospital and Bristol Royal Infirmary. It is a free service provided for University and Hospital staff and visitors and operates a continuous service between the hours of 06.37 - 17.45. The University supports this service as a way of encouraging individuals to travel to work by bus or train.

Key changes to the HUBS timetable

  • There are additional services in the morning rush hour, which will call at key stops only (Bristol Temple Meads, Debenhams, The Hawthorns and St Michael's Hospital).
  • These additional services also mean that there are better-timed services from Temple Meads to meet incoming train and they can be changed when necessary in line with the train timetable changes.
  • The services will not call at the St Mary on the Quay stop before 09:20
  • Woodland Road is only served during the morning peak 06:35 - 09:20
  • The daytime times and route remain roughly the same as they are now.
  • All services departing from St Michaels Hospital after 16:39 will operate via Primark and Bristol Temple Meads using the most direct route available (subject to traffic and road diversions) before calling at Bristol General Hospital.
  •  There is also later evening services running from Hawthorns.
  • From the 18 May 2009 the bus will depart from the 8/9 service bus stop at Bristol Temple Meads.
