A NEW winter timetable across Morebus services will come into force next week.

The operator is introducing the changes to meet the demand the winter season brings.

Morebus said a lot of the alterations are minor, with a few routes including the m1, m2, 10, 14, 16, 17, 20, 38 and X3 all having tweaks to peak times to better serve customers in the colder winter months and improve the reliability of the service The X6 timetable has also been reviewed to aid reliability, along with an extension to include Bearwood Estate and the removal of route 11 from Poole to Bearwood to go alongside this.

The Purbeck Breezer, as always, will have slightly reduced services over the winter period. Routes 30, 31, 35 and Durlston5 will be removed for the winter period. Route 12 will also be removed with route 70 operating into the winter between Alum Chine and East Cliff.

The UNIBUS services will continue to operate on the same timetable as in the 2021/22 academic year.

The winter timetable comes into use from Monday, September 19, with the bank holiday Monday on the day of the Queen’s state funeral running as a Sunday service.
