Winter solstice buses to Stonehenge

It's the winter solstice on Wednesday and for those who want to go to Stonehenge for the sunrise, Salisbury Reds are running a special service, the 333. See full details here.

If you're travelling from Southampton, the first X7 of the day doesn't get to Salisbury until it's far too late, so you'll need to get the train from Southampton Central at 0630 in order to connect with the 333 bus from Salisbury railway station at 0720.

If you're travelling from Bournemouth, the X3 doesn't run early enough either, so you'll need to get the 0515 train to Southampton Central and then change to the 0630 to Salisbury, connecting with the 333 bus from Salisbury railway station at 0720. The first X3 of the day from Ringwood does run early enough, departing from Meeting House Lane at 0557.

From Portsmouth, you'll need to get the train at 0516 from Portsmouth & Southsea and change at Southampton Central as above.

From Winchester, get the train at 0559 to Eastleigh, then get the 0613 through to Salisbury for the 0720 bus.
