Commuters in Bath may be forgiven for any confusion with routes around the city after buses were spotted with incorrect place names.

First Group’s Route One has apparently been stopping at new areas in Bath called Commbe Down and Endsleigh.

Bath resident, Robert Coles, spotted the spelling mistakes and took photographs of them.

Mr Coles said: “Perhaps First are copying Fawlty Towers, if you remember the letters on the hotel sign were rearranged for each episode. I rather like the idea and am looking forward to more novel spellings.”
