morebus changes from 8th March
The number of changes that are needed are actually far less than some other operators I have seen. Most of the core routes were already fairly frequent though, although you will always have someone shouting that they need to do more.
Service m1 & m2 will have extra buses running in the peak hours. There is no timetable published for this yet, so I am not sure if they will be unscheduled duplicates or added to the timetable.
Service 4 will remove one diversion to serve Allenbourn School, the bus for school service 714 will resume at the same time.
Services 5 & 6 will increase on weekdays to from Every 15 Minutes to Every 10 Minutes
Service 9 will have an extra school bus at 0725 from Upton to Poole
Service X8 in Blandford will not divert to Blandford School in the morning, the bus for school service 708 will resume at the same time
Service X12 will continue to run a school holiday service on some afternoon journeys
