Don't forget that Wheelers W1 switches to a temporary timetable as of tomorrow. See it here. The normal timetable resumes on Monday 5th January.

January timetables released
The new timetables for Brijan Tours' routes from 4th January have been released. See them via these links: 7, 8, 15, 17.
On the same day, there are new timetables on More X1, X2 and 119 and Stagecoach 46.
5th January sees new timetables on Bluestar 5, 6 & 11, plus on Xelabus X1, X2, X3, X4 and X7 with the X6 launching. Wheelers also take over routes E1/E2, H1/H2 and T3/T4.
From 12th January, there are new timetables on Velvet S1 and S2, with the A becoming part of the S1.
Most of these are due to cuts being imposed by Hampshire County Council.

More changes on the way
There are a lot of changes on the way. As well as the ones that have already been mentioned, Wheelers W1 will be switching to a holiday timetable from Monday 22nd December, with no buses running via Chilworth Science Park over Christmas and New Year. See the new timetable here. The current timetable resumes on 4th January.
Talking of Wheelers, they take on several new Hampshire County Council contracts in the new year. They are slowly getting round to posting timetables for the routes they are taking over. Here's the one for the T3 and T4, complete with a misspelling of Cadnam (my yellow highlighting):
Velvet A disappears on 12th January, to be replaced by an extended S1, probably at the S1's lower frequency. Hedge Enders might be forgiven for feeling rather remote.
First have new timetables on routes 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 13 from 18th January. Miraculously route 5 survives unchanged. The new timetables can be seen on First's website.
Ringwood gets more remote again from 31st January, when Gardbus 139 is withdrawn.

Xela X5 new timetable tomorrow / Salisbury cuts on the way
Xelabus X5 gets a new timetable tomorrow, but look what's still on Xelabus's website (the yellow highlight is mine):
The new timetable is on Traveline and you can see it now here.
As many of you have already noticed, Salisbury Reds have released the new timetable for the X7, which will start from 4th January 2015. Some journeys are cut and some are diverted via Romsey to replace the axed route 34. The cuts to this main route between Southampton and Salisbury really are quite significant, so if you use it, it's worth comparing the current and new timetables and making sure you're prepared for the changes.

Cuts latest: Boyatt Wood boost / Solent Go launches city multi-operator ticket
More details have emerged about the cuts being imposed by Hampshire County Council. They will take effect from Sunday 4th January 2015. Initial details in this previous post. These are the details that are new:
Bluestar have already released new timetables for the 5 and 6. The 5 is extended to Boyatt Wood, replacing the E1 and E2, a shrivelled up version of which is moving to another, yet to be revealed, operator. Boyatt Wood's half-hour frequency will now last for most of the day, which is a frequency increase.
More have released the new timetables for the X1, X2 and 119. There will no longer be any buses between Lymington and Bournemouth on Sundays.
Xelabus have given details of the changes to their services, but the timetables are not out yet. The C3, C4 and X7 are merged into a new X6/X7 service. The X4 will no longer serve Fleming Park in the evenings. The X1, X2 anxd X3 get new timetables too. The X5 has some early changes on 24th November.
In other news, you've no doubt spotted that the multi-operator Solent Travelcard has become Solent Go, but the regional ticket price has remained the same. From Sunday, a Southampton City Solent Go will be available for £5. Valid within the city boundary plus to West End, it will allow you to travel on the buses of any operator without having to pay for the full regional Solent Go ticket.
