HANTS & DORSET
Associated with the National Bus Company
 
Issued free of charge and subject to the Company's Published Regulations and Conditions and the approval of the Traffic Commissioners. June 1977.

The opening of the new Itchen Bridge gives us a golden opportunity to provide, for the first time, a direct bus link between Woolston and Southampton.

This will make travel to Southampton much easier and quicker for people in Woolston, Netley and Hamble.
Changes will be introduced on Sunday 12th June, affecting buses in the Southampton, Eastleigh and Fareham areas and include necessary alterations in times, routes and some service numbers.
These are the main features of the new scheme:
1. Services 49, 78, 80, 81, 81A are extended from Woolston to Southampton (across the Itchen Bridge) with necessary time adjustments.
2. Between Woolston and Park Gate, Service 78 is replaced by a new Service No. 89. Service 78 will now run 4 times a day over a new route.
3. Service 77 - Warsash to Fareham - will be re-routed via Catisfield to replace part of the 84 route.
4. Service 84 will run between Gosport Ferry and Fareham Bus Station only. The section to Catisfield will be replaced by Service 77 and some extra journeys on Service 76.
5. Service 82 is withdrawn and replaced by extra journeys on Service 85.
6. Services 53, 76, 85 and 88/88A will keep their basic frequencies but are re-timed to give more regular departures.
7. Service 42 will be extended from Eastleigh Bus Station to Stoke Common with necessary time adjustments. By public request this restores the Chandler's Ford - Bishopstoke link.
8. Service 45 between Eastleigh and Longmead Avenue will be replaced by the extension to Service 42, except for some peak-hour journeys. Otherwise Service 45 will run from Eastleigh Bus Station to the Hypermarket only.
9. More buses will become "Pay-as-you-enter" with a driver/conductor. Please have the correct fare ready. It will help him, you and your fellow passengers.
10. Bus stops in Bassett Avenue, Southampton will be merged with those of S.C.T.
