Buses

Rode is served by two bus services, the D2 (operated by First Bus) and the X34 (operated by Faresaver).

D2 Service (Bath to Frome via Rode)

The updated D2 timetable runs from 31st August 2025 until April 2026.

Full timetable details can be downloaded here (together with a handy route map):

Certain services are operating with government support, so there is always a risk that – if and when the support is withdrawn – the services will be discontinued if they can’t generate a return for First Bus. As ever, it’s a case of “use it or lose it”.  All single journeys are priced at £3 until March 2027.

X34 Service (Chippenham to Frome via Rode)

The X34 serves Frome, Trowbridge, Melksham and Chippenham. The current timetable can be downloaded here:
