Bus bosses take to the road over route changes
A TEAM from First Bus are taking to the road to talk to residents in Gosport and Fareham about major changes to their services.
The changes which will be in affect from Sunday, November 18, with new service numbers and routes that will affect almost all First services in Fareham, Gosport, Portsmouth and Waterlooville.
These are the most drastic changes for decades, but it is hoped that they will make the services less complicated and more efficient.
Marc Reddy, Regional Commercial and Business Growth Director for First in the South West, said: “We have instead taken a step back, wiped the slate clean and developed something which we think will offer people what they need and which better matches the demand for travel overall".
Staff will be on hand to talk to residents and give out timetables and maps in Lawrence Square, Gosport between 9am and 4pm Wednesday and at the Podium Bandstand, Fareham between 9am and 5pm Friday .
There will also be unmanned displays detailing the changes at the Gosport ferry terminal and at the First Travel Shops in Gosport and Fareham, where timetables and network maps will also be available.

Think they are too busy looking after their shareholders than their customers. Perhaps the council should persuade Exelabus to run the route and transfer the gumments subsidy to them.
Yep, talk and then ignore you!
