I boarded a service at that exact Pier stop only last week while on hols down there...

We depart at 0713 on morebus service 737, alighting at Hurn (Bournemouth Airport) at 0721 on Thursday.

Yunex gave us only two options - either to get the next outbound 737 (the final one of the day) to the main airport stop as I have done, or to wait 7 hours for the first inbound 737 of the day. By takign the first option, we then end up on the second option as our next move by default, so little choice really...
