Blandford Bus (J346)

[Eagle]

Looking through BRFares I've found that there's a destination "Blandford Bus" (code J346), but there are seemingly no fares that use it. Evidently it's something that's been deleted from the Manual, but I'm curious to know when it was active and what stations it was supposed to connect to. And why Blandford gets a bus ticket, but other larger towns that are closer to the surviving rail network (such as Wimborne and Ringwood) didn't.

It is still in use - it is an add-on for tickets to/from Poole.

Wimborne is covered as part of the Bournemouth & Poole PlusBus area.

Okay, that is slightly cheaper than a normal bus ticket (currently £5.70 single, £8 return), although I think it's exactly equal to what they were a year ago.

Anyone got the relevant Manual extract?
