STAGECOACH is axing 35 of its bus journeys between Gloucester and Newent next month.

The 132 and 32 bus routes which go through Newent to Ledbury and Ross-on-Wye will lose 13 journeys from Monday to Friday, 20 journeys on Saturdays and two on Sundays from September 6.

Many of the early buses such as the 6.05am bus from Ross to Gloucester will face the chop and the 6.09am Ledbury o Gloucester will be withdrawn between Ledbury and Newent.

The bus operator says it’s making the changes as a result of low demand.
