Beach Breezer 70
  • Rockley Park to Hoburne Holiday Park will be back for the summer period.
  • Minor route change at Boscombe as we are no longer able to serve the pier. This is due to the fact the bus gets stuck in the queue for the BCP Council car park and it negatively impacts our ability to keep this route reliable. The stops no longer served are Boscombe Pier, San Remo Towers and Wollstonecraft Road.
  • For passengers wishing to visit Boscombe Pier/Beach we recommend using Monkey Island on East Overcliff Drive (a short walk with steps). Or Boscombe Gardens for a level walk.
