In Southampton, First have reduced the price of their FirstWeek Southampton ticket to £8. It was previously £11.
More have brought in extra peak hour journeys on the M1 to relieve overcrowding between Bournemouth and Poole.
Stagecoach have released the new timetables for the 37 and 38 Havant-Petersfield-Alton services, which take effect from 1st April. Cuts are enduced by Hampshire County Council cutting their subsidy, continuing the government's austerity agenda. There are no more through journeys between the 37 and 38, so a change of bus in Petersfield will be needed and timetables no longer necessarily match up.
Yellow Buses have new timetables on most routes from 7th April. The 1a is extended to New Milton and the 6 is extended to Wimborne. Further details here. Some of the new timetables are on Traveline, but not all.
On the Isle of Wight, Southern Vectis have launched their scenic Needles Breezer service for the summer season.
Islanders visiting one of Southampton's hospitals can now use Southern Vectis Rover and Freedom tickets on Bluestar 17 to get to the General and Unilink U6 to get to the Royal South Hants at no extra cost. You'll still need to pay for the ferry I'm afraid.
First 503 (Weymouth-Overcombe) resumes for the summer season from this coming Friday 15th March. Timetable here.
Sunday 17th March sees changes to More's Purbeck Breezer services 40, 50 and 60.
