Hourly Yellow Buses From Wimborne To Bournemouth

By DomCar | Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 10:00

Bournemouth–based Yellow Buses have introduced a new hourly route to Wimborne, via Merley, and the new service will run from the 10th October.

Yellow Buses' new service to Wimborne, via Merley.

The new service is very much welcome, by me in particular. My wife has the use of our only car during the day to get to work as I work from home, so having another option to get into Bournemouth is always helpful. Unfortunately I can't tell you much about the service, as after taking a look on the Yellow Buses' website I have found to my disappointment it isn't yet listed.

I was going to do a comparison between the Yellow Buses' service and travelling to Bournemouth via Poole train station, looking at time and cost. But obviously as the Yellow Buses' website doesn't yet have the Bournemouth to Wimborne timetable up I can't do that. You would think when introducing a new service they would at the very least make sure the timetables were up from the day they started. Very poor service.

Having said that I am looking forward to trying out the new service, as it now makes Bournemouth Town Centre more accessible from this area of Dorset, which can only be a good thing.

Has anyone tried the new service, and if so how much did it cost?

Unfortunately the page gave the posted link a tiny url, and so perhaps changed it - but the timetables are still available on our website http://tinyurl.com/4xvucwa click on the link from our home page tabs for timetables and maps and you will find it currently at the top of the page on the High Frequency timetables and maps link.
In addition we are also distributing a timetable booklet to homes in the Merley, Wimborne and Bearwood area, plus have put copies along the route in newsagents and libraries etc - and of course there is information at every stop along the way - YB

DomCar is quite right. If you didn't have the timetables up when you said then it is poor service. I went on the site to look up the times, as I am quite excited about the prospect of having a jolly to Bournemouth sometime soon, and what did I find...NO TIMETABLES. Let's hope you have them up soon.
