Bournemouth: Night buses return for first time since pandemic

A night bus service that has been suspended since the pandemic is starting up again.

The three routes - one of which is brand new - will run in Bournemouth and Poole and the surrounding area every Friday and Saturday night from 20 September.

Fares will be capped at £2 per trip.

The decision follows a consultation by bus company Morebus.

The first route - N1 - will follow the m1 route between Poole and Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

The N2 will follow the m2 route as far as Southbourne and then extend to Tuckton, Barrack Road, Christchurch and Two Riversmeet.

The new route - N5 - will connect Bournemouth and Bournemouth Station with BU Talbot Campus.

Period passes will be accepted on the routes, and passengers can also use tap on tap off weekly capping.
