  1. Another great post!

    It was announced that Southampton council have plans to build a new bus station.

    If this is true I was wondering where it is going to be

  3. Velvet A will still serve Boorley Green, contrary to the impression given, albeit with a slight reduction in the number of journeys. Timetable changes affecting C1/C2 (or their replacement) have yet to be finalised, which is why they haven't yet been published.

  4. Thanks Phil, we stand corrected. People in Boorley Green will definitely be pleased they're not being lumbered with a taxishare. I'll update the green panel.
