    Does Bournemouth Airport need better public transport provision?

    In the past, Yellow Buses ran a more regular (2 hourly) A1 bus service to the airport, but not I think on a commercial basis. I watched a recent BCP consultative committee meeting at which two reps from Morebus participated - they mentioned (without prompting IIRC) that links to the airport...

    SWR after May

    In the summer they used to sell tubs of Purbeck ice cream on board between Bournemouth and Brockenhurst - I'd love them to bring that back. Went down very well with passengers - the morale boost was palpable

    Train ticket retailers charging my card with an MCC which doesn't specify train ticket purchase

    Go South Coast

    i think there’s a plan for a dedicated bus exit from the roundabout to the station to keep buses moving without being caught at the lights by the petrol station.
