I WONDER how the proposed seasonal bus service from Hythe Pier to Ringwood will be subsidised.

It will be a quick route through to Bournemouth at least. It won’t be long before we can use the beach bus again to Lepe beach.

It seems strange we can only get it during school holidays, though, as Lepe beach’s strange tides make it a unique place.

Pensioners, however, will have to fork out then, before 9.30am, for these useful and interesting bus journeys.

I should mention when a bus pass is lost our libraries have forms for replacing them, and/or changing to a disability bus pass where appropriate (see your GP) as the application has now to go to Hampshire County Council, not NFDC any more.

For a variety of reasons people are beginning to think More bus is unable to run a bus service.

I hear this between Bournemouth and Southampton and especially from people at Lymington waiting for a bus.
