News from Lib-Dem 'Focus' about new routes in May. Still no definite word about catering for those of us who live near the north end of Hiltingbury Rd., and unable to walk to Ashdown, Merdon and Winchester roads. Lets have a bus which stops at Kingsway Shops which would cater for students, O.A.P.s, etc. Provide a bus and we'll use it !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-41380653141878956132012-11-26T13:27:48.663+00:002012-11-26T13:27:48.663+00:00Perhaps it would make best sense if the bus servic...Perhaps it would make best sense if the bus service in the area were timed to connect with train services in that case?

I don't think anyone should criticise Xela. At least the buses they are running are low floor and very clean... much better than Velvets offerings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-38290037854228133042012-11-25T17:03:52.515+00:002012-11-25T17:03:52.515+00:00The train also starts earlier and finishes much la...The train also starts earlier and finishes much later but is only hourly.<br /><br />Judging by am peak loadings on the train with many passengers travelling beyond Eastleigh this must have made an impact on bus loadings from C FordAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-82964583348385078722012-11-24T14:55:22.149+00:002012-11-24T14:55:22.149+00:00Perhaps Xelabus are hoping that

It's just a tad unforunate that the C3 and C4 aren't the other way round, as anyone from Merdon Avenue has to go a very long way round to get to Eastleigh, passing Chandlers Ford ststion twice in the process.Venturernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-10192059240832566522012-11-24T10:02:39.836+00:002012-11-24T10:02:39.836+00:00It's not a good advert for deregulation and pr...It's not a good advert for deregulation and privatisation !Tired Old Gitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-81137781088828188352012-11-24T07:21:00.284+00:002012-11-24T07:21:00.284+00:00I see that Xelabus have improved the C3/C4 timetab...I see that Xelabus have improved the C3/C4 timetable information on their website. It now shows which journeys turn into X7 at Waitrose, with arrival/departure times at Eastleigh. It doesn't mention additional connections which appear to be possible at times when the X7 is running half-hourly - but maybe a connection time of 4 or 5 minutes is thought to be too risky.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965936499218384410noreply@blogger.com
