Changes this week... and from Sunday

It's all back to normal today, but two changes have come into effect:

Xelabus X11 is now Wheelers W2 (Southampton City Centre-Lordshill North) due to a change of contract by Southampton City Council. The route stays the same and the new timetable is here.

Salisbury Reds 44 (Salisbury-Woodfalls) has a new timetable with some minor changes.

First Portsmouth have a few changes from Sunday 8th January, the main one of which is the withdrawal of the X9 route. The section between Waterlooville and Hambledon is replaced by new routes D1 and D2, but the fast link to Portsmouth is gone. There are other changes to routes 2, 7C, 13 and 14. See their shiny new Portsmouth timetable book as a pdf here.

Here's how First's Waterlooville network looks from Sunday:

  3. Only minor route changes in the pipeline is the official line apparently.Though rumours of a Bluestar announcement in Feb too - perhaps the rumours are related - more likely just someone's fertile imagination !
