Route 5 which runs to Kingswood Leisure Park, Barnes Way and then the Retail Park sees its evening frequency halved from every 15 to every 30 minutes. This serves the western end of Kingswood whose residences have a 10-20 minute walk to get the 6/7. It also links Kingswood with Orchard Park, the university and Avenues area. The frequency from the interchange is still every 15 minutes (every 10 on Saturday evenings) with half the buses terminating part way down the route at Hall Road/Endike Lane. It seems a shame that, in the evenings, routes 5 and 7 give 4 buses an hour to the residential areas of Kingswood but the leave the interchange at virtually the same time so if you miss your desired bus it's a 30 minute wait. <br /><br />The 7 running in a loop means that residents can get a bus to the retail park but can't get one back. They would have to set off towards North Point and change buses. <br /><br />Hopefully the introduction of later running for the 6 is a sign of it being successful and will lead to a full evening. Service, maybe even an increase to every 20 minutes during the day! This is by far the quickest route into the city centre from Kingswood.
