Forest Community Transport Services
Forest Community Transport (run by Lydney Dial-a-Ride) is the new rural bus route. It operates just like any normal bus service. You do not need to be a member of Dial-A-Ride to use it! The routes not only help to connect communities around the Forest, but also provide the opportunity to travel further by linking to onward connecting bus services such as to Gloucester and Monmouth. Concessionary bus passes are accepted.
