Yeah the clanker has admitted now that it got confused by duplicate records coming out of the bustimes.org API (although it's my fault really for not fact-checking), sorry! I've updated my post accordingly.

Thanks for this, this prompted me to try using AI to compare Monday 27th April with Monday 1st June on bustimes.org to see if it could find anything you've not already mentioned here, and the main additional point it uncovered is what seems to be a significant re-shuffle of bus termini in...

Yes, Advance tickets are OK, as long as they save more than a couple of quid versus the walk-up alternative.

We have 2 adult passengers, both with valid Network Railcards. 8/8 Friday early evening - Bournemouth to Didcot Parkway 9/8 Saturday late morning/early afternoon - Didcot Parkway to Cheltenham Spa 9/8 Saturday late afternoon/early evening - Cheltenham Spa to Gloucester 10/8 Sunday morning -...

More bus upcoming service changes, before and after... (I've drawn on the N5 myself) Look at all these late departures from Wimborne, shame the department times aren't spaced more evenly between the 6 and the 13/13A. In the other direction, the last departure from Bournemouth to Wimborne...

https://www.morebus.co.uk/our-night-buses-are-back Starting two weeks today, on Friday & Saturday nights, N1 & N2 both hourly, combining to half-hourly between Poole & Bournemouth. N2 extended to Christchurch (a direct bus from Poole to Christchurch!), plus new route N5 covering route 5 as...

More great local info, thank you. It's very encouraging to hear that services in the area have improved rather than declined in recent years.

Thanks again, it is fascinating to know the history of these things, as it is often nigh impossible to learn this without finding individuals who can share their recollections. I must admit I was mistaken earlier when I wrote that Sutton Courtenay's services do not extend into the evening on...

Amazing info much appreciated, thank you very much! I'm coming from the Go South Coast area where I generally hold a positive opinion of my local operator More, so I would be pleased to have the services of another Go-Ahead company. I have noted that Sutton Courtenay conversely seems to have a...

Hello thread, I'm wondering if anybody could tell me whether the disproportionately good bus service X2/NX2 enjoyed by the villages of Drayton and Steventon has been a stable long-term fixture over the years? I ask because I'm looking at moving to South Oxfordshire. Thanks!

That's great! Thank you! I found that there were advance fares available for GIL-EXD and EXD-SAL that totalled £26.60 (not sure if they're still available), which together with the £5.50 Exmouth day return made £32.10, but to have flexible travel for only 80p more is fantastic.

If anybody enjoys these puzzles, then here is mine for today. I have a Network Railcard. My itinerary is as follows: Sat 28/5 - Gillingham (Dorset) to Exeter St. David's - after validity begins for Super Off-Peak (12pm); Network Railcard is valid all day Sat 28/5 - Exeter St. David's to...

That's great, good timing as the date I'm hoping to use it is only 10 days later! Many thanks again!

Sorry, I was looking for a good "official" source for the information (i.e. without having to ask insiders on this forum) rather than for you to give me an exact date yourself, but thank you all the same!

Legend, thank you. I am grateful to my inner voice of doubt on this occasion! I wish it were possible to get reliable information on this from the actual operators of the service... Edit: On that note, do you know of anywhere other than this forum where I could expect to reliably find out when...
