Which Service is Right for Me?
(back to top)
Bath & North East Somerset and the Royal United Hospital
(RUH) launched a Service in June 2003 which utilises the Odd Down
Park and Ride side to provide a quick and easy, cost effective
service to the hospital.

Due to 'Alligator Teeth' having now been installed at both the
Lansdown and Odd Down sites, the exits to all three Park & Ride
sites remain unlocked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
However, we advise owners to remove their vehicles from
the site by 9pm -please see advice below.
We do not recommend that you leave your vehicle overnight
at any of the Park & Ride sites. The sites
are not patrolled at night, and you
leave your vehicle there at entirely your own
risk.
