Starts Sunday 10th August 1980
 
Most people's buses will be affected in some way, either a new route, new route number or different times. So please study this book and make sure that you know about your new bus after the 10th August. If you have any difficulties our staff at Southampton, Romsey or Salisbury bus stations will be pleased to help. Alternatively watch out for the Information Buses.
The South Hants Network has been developed from the information that you gave us in your tremendous response to the survey made some eighteen months ago. This told us what people in the area needed from their bus service. It showed us how some areas needed more buses and others fewer. The result is that we can make better use of our resources to run more economically so that South Hants will break even financially.
Wherever the survey showed the need the service has been improved. The Waterside area will benefit from a fast new service to Southampton (X8, X9) which will cut 15 minutes off the journey. Buses in Calmore will cover much more of the estate.
In a sense the 10th August will be the "start of the beginning" of South Hants because we shall be watching to see if we can improve things further. In this we would welcome your help. We have done our best to get things right first time, but like everyone else, we are not infallible. So if you find things more difficult or you have a suggestion to make please drop us a line at Southampton bus station.
Remember if you have any questions about the new South Hants network, our staff at the bus stations will be pleased to help. Alternatively watch out for the Information Buses that will be around the area before the new service starts.
 
WHAT'S CHANGED
The new network affects buses in the Romsey, Totton and Waterside areas including buses to Southampton and Salisbury. There will be little change to frequencies at peak times but generally Sunday and evening services are reduced. The Waterside will have a new limited stop service to Southampton and buses in Calmore will serve a much wider area. By and large buses will be running over the same roads as now but at different times and some with a new route or route number.
 
BUS STOPS
Except where there is a major change of route most existing stops will still be used.
 
Buses in the Eastleigh, Bishops Waltham and Hamble areas are also changing on the 10th August. Details are in a separate book.
