As part of the local Stagecoach bus service this
No 55 bus was introduced to impove accessibility for disabled
passengers. Its low level floor certainly helped elderly
passengers get to the local towns for shopping.
The 55 Chippenham route started at Swindon passed through
Wootton Bassett, Lyneham, Calne and then onto Chippenham.
In 2003 there were very frequent buses, in fact we had
three serparate companies all running on the same route
to capture the passengers.
Stagecoach, the national bus company still hold the
route, running a daily service every 30mins in both
directions. For more information on the current bus
