I am a regular reader of the Southampton Bus Update on Blogspot. I am also a regular bus and train user. This meant that when the Southampton Bus Update stopped posting in early June 2020 I was no longer getting some of the information that I would use for my travels.
With the end of the current Coronavirus pandemic wave approaching, bus services were changing on a weekly basis. This is why after 2 months of hoping SotonBus was all right, I felt the time was right to even temporarily step in and offer a similar service.
I am not a bus insider, I do not have a direct contact to anyone in any bus company, I have to ask on Social Media or email them, just like you.
