| With effect from Sunday, 2nd October
1977 alterations will be made to a number
of services. The changes follow the
massive re-organisation of bus services
that took place with the opening of
the Itchen Bridge, are as a result of
comments from the public and the Department's
own observations. They are designed
to improve overall the network of services
by providing more buses where there
is demand, but cutting back in areas
where less passengers are being carried,
as well as re-routing services where
these are felt to be necessary. |
