Old Milton Road Closure - Social Distancing
- Affected routes:
-
119
To assist with social distancing, a closure of Old Milton Road has been implemented by New Milton Town Council.
Because of this, a minor diversion will be in operation on the 119, and the Old Post Office stop outside Bradbeers will not be served in the direction of Tesco / Lymington until further notice.
A temporary stop has been placed further down the road just before Milton Grove.
Thank you for bearing with us.
Castlepoint stop change
- Affected routes:
-
m1
Due to construction works taking place from 12th August for the foreseeable future at Castlepoint, our m1 services will be required to drop off at a different bus stop to its usual place.
m1 services arriving at Castlepoint will drop off and terminate in the bus layby outside of Sainsbury’s/Natwest bank.
This only affects m1 services arriving into Castlepoint.
m1 services starting from Castlepoint towards Poole will use their normal bus stop (Stop D) on Hamblin Way.
We will provide a map and signposts on site directing customers to the regular pickup point located a small way down to avoid any confusion.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
These disruptions could affect future journeys
A350 Closure - X8 Diversion (Tue 14th to Fri 17th July)
- Affected routes:
-
X8
From Tuesday 14th July until Friday 17th July, there are two separate road closures on the A350 which means the X8 cannot access its normal line of route and will have to make a lengthy diversion. This unfortunately means the timetable will be badly disrupted and a temporary timetable will be in place for those days.
From approximately 0930 until 1530 the road will be closed between Blandford St Marys and Sturminster Marshall meaning no stops between those points can be served including all stops in the villages of Charlton Marshall and Spetisbury. All journeys before and after those those times will operate as normal route at the times as shown in the temporary timetable.
Due to the length of the diversion departures from both ends of the route are affected at times - passengers will need to check the timetable carefully to ensure they know what time their service will depart although no services are earlier than normal, only later.
