Traveler reviews
Bus just zoomed past while I was waiting at the stop.
It lets you hop off just fine but getting back on maybe not so automatic. I was just waiting at the stop and waved at it but it zoomed right on Past. Now I have to wait for another hour for the next one I will be waving wildly as it approaches.
Informative and good...
Informative and good stops along way . Runs hourly so need to decide how long you want to stay. Bus did come couple mins earlier so be aware of that as they didn’t stop , so you could be on time but have to stay another hour , which is what happened to us .
A great day out🙂
If you don't drive, or just fancy a day to relax rather than have to find parking and paying fees this is an excellent way to see the extended area that you've chosen to visit. The option of getting off anywhere en route and spending time doing what you want, whether that be shopping or sightseeing you know you won't have long to wait for the next journey. The added option of the boat tour to Brownsea Island is well worth the extra expense as it's a wonderful unspoilt area to check out. Getting to see the houses at Sandbanks and hearing the stories from the ferry captain were nice as well. All in all a very worthwhile expense, informative and relaxing.
It is better than morebus because it will cost £3 for a single to there and back because it is senic route in Dorset when you ar
Poole quay to Bournemouth and back for £17
Poole and Bournemouth
It was very cold on the bus as it is very open. It would be better to have the front of the bus covered as it is in London. It is cheaper to purchase directly at the bus stops as on line price was 2 ponds more expensive.
