Routes changes
24th May 2025 onwards
The 5 and 5a merge in a single route with no journeys numbered 5a.
There will now be earlier and later journeys for you to use everyday.
See new routes 11 and 21 that you may want to use instead, if you live in the Coombe Avenue and Leybourne Avenue areas.
The new 5 will follow the current 5a route from Ensbury Park to Columbia Road then turn right into Kinson Road then Montgomery Avenue > Cunningham Crescent > Moore Avenue > Poole Lane > Kinson. This provides a frequency increase for Columbia Road and Kinson Road users up to every 15 minutes.
The Turbary Park Centre stop is no longer served by the 5, the alternative will be the 21 from a new stop on Verney Road, or you can use the 5 from the Columbia Road/Kinson Road stop.
Affected routes:
Bournemouth to Kinson
