AMENDMENT LEAFLET No. 1 to Poole Area Timetable dated May, 1975
AMENDMENT LEAFLET No. 4 to Salisbury Area Timetable dated September, 1974
 
 
COMMENCING SUNDAY, 31 AUGUST, 1975 exrensive revisions will be introduced in these areas.
 
Services 12, 12A, 12B, 13, 21, 22 and 95 will be withdrawn and replaced by a new pattern of bus services. In a number of areas bus routes will be changed to make buses more convenient by operating nearer to where passengers actually live. The new timetables are designed to provide frequencies more in line with the use being made of each service. In addition, revised timetables will be introduced on Services 24/24B, 26, 30/30A (to be renumbered 130 and 131) and 101.
A summary of the alterations is given below.

    Daily
    REVISED TIMETABLE. Service 24B (Limited Stop) will be renumbered X24. Journeys on Services 24 and X24 will be extended beyond the existing Shaftesbury Town Hall terminus to Grosvenor Road, operating via Bleke Street and Ivy Cross. Timings between Blandford and Shaftesbury will be adjusted. In addition, the 1600 journey from Bournemouth to Shaftesbury (Mondays to Saturdays) will terminate at Blandford; the 1630 journey from Bournemouth to Wimborne (Mondays to Saturdays) will be extended to Shaftesbury and operate as Service X24, and the 1900 Bournemouth to Shaftesbury (Mondays to Saturdays) will operate as a normal Service 24 journey. These and other minor alterations are shown on the new timetable on pages 6-8.
     
26   POOLE - WEST MOORS/POULNER
   

REVISED TIMETABLE. Departure times from Poole will be at 22 and 52 minutes past each hour. Timings between Bear Cross and West Moors will be adjusted and departure and arrival times at Ferndown will be revised to provide a 30 minute frequency on weekdays to and from West Moors in conjunction with new Services 134 and 135. Connections will also be available at Ferndown to and from Wimborne in conjunction with new Services 132 and 133. The new timetable will allow greater time for transfer at Bear Cross between Services X17 and 26 from Southampton. In addition, the Poulner terminus will be at North Poulner Road, thus allowing the Poulner service to cover a wider area.

    Full details are shown on pages 9-11.
