We'll be making a number of small improvements to our services from 2 November as follows:

Service 82
We're adding an extra round trip on Saturday mornings to allow for an earlier arrival into both Blandford and Wimborne. This means the same timetable applies on Saturdays as well as weekdays.

Service 132
Journeys from Ringwood will be retimed to run three minutes earlier. We'll also be adding an additional morning journey from Ferndown to Ringwood, as well as a later journey on Saturday afternoons in the opposite direction.

Service X5
We're renumbering the service to X33 to avoid duplication with other operators' services (the X33 being the traditional number for express buses along this corridor). The route in Southampton city centre will be revised to improve reliability: buses will enter and leave the city via Western Esplanade and Portland Terrace, terminating at the recently opened Albion Place bus hub. Stopping places will be revised to call at Western Esplanade (just outside the south entrance to Central Station), Westquay and Albion Place. These changes will avoid buses getting delayed by event diversions. Look out for further improvements to come in 2026!

There are no changes to services 83 and 126.
