Train bargains and bus timetable changes

With effect from 1 September 2015:

Bluestar Number 1:  extra buses

Bluestar 1 daytime service will be increased from every 20 minutes to every 15 minutes throughout the day. During peak travel periods the frequency will not quite be every 15 minutes but greater than the current level.

There will be extra buses to ease the busy afternoon journeys from Winchester to help customers and students from Peter Symonds College. Buses will leave Winchester at 1645, 1655 and 1710.

Bluestar 1 will also serve Winchester Rail Station on Monday to Friday evenings to connect with trains arriving from London at 1900, 1930 and 2000 to make travel connections easier. Evening journeys from Winchester will run slightly later.

Until the new timetable is in operation, you can download a preview of the new timings from this Bluestar travel update.

With effect from 1 September 2015, Bus 63, operated by Stagecoach, which runs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, will run leave Compton 5 minutes earlier, while the return bus leaves Winchester  5 minutes later.

That means departure from Attwoods Drove at 10:03 with the return bus leaving Winchester bus station at 12:40.

Please note correction: this page originally incorrectly implied that the bus would run 5 minutes later in each direction)
