There is a major increase in fast journeys between Southampton, Holbury and Blackfield with new Bluestar 9 buses every 20 minutes. Extra Bluestar 9fast journeys in the rush hours on Mondays to Fridays mean there will be a bus up to every 10 minutes between Blackfield, Holbury and Southampton.
There are some changes to times on Hythe local services 36/36A and 37. Service 37 will now run between Hythe, Heather Road and Calshot. At peak times Bluestar 9fast will provide extra buses to Calshot.
The Challenger Way area will be served by hourly buses on Bluestar 8 offering a new through link between this part of Dibden and Southampton.

However you can reach Hythe easily from the stations at Lymington and Southampton. See the Southwest Trains website for more information.
Both journeys have unique features; from Southampton Station the journey involves a trip on the famous ferry, while the Wilts & Dorset bus from Lymington passes through the small villages of Boldre, Pilley, East Boldre and Beaulieu in the New Forest.
Buses leave Lymington Bus Station every 2 hours; there is a limited service on Saturdays and none on Sundays.Come and visit Hythe; whichever way you travel the journey will be worth it! |
