ALTERED SERVICES DUE TO RINGWOOD AREA MAJOR ROAD-WORKS
The announcement regarding roadworks/amended timetables has now been suspended ... however, as they will come into effect in January (2022), the text will be left intact and altered as required nearer the time.
There are major roadworks to come in the Ringwood area (A31/A338 confluence), beginning [ January 2022 - dates to be confirmed ] - lasting until the Winter of 2022. As a result, Morebus routes in the Ringwood area will be affected - and as two of them run through West Moors ( X6, 38 ), timetables have had to be altered to allow for possible delays/diversions.
Broadly, journey times have been lengthened to account for possible delays, especially where a vehicle has to transit the Ringwood / A338 / A31 confluence of roads. As well as somewhat longer journey times, individual timings, where they've changed, are some 5 to 10 minutes LATER than heretofore. Always check the timetables carefully.
The Morebus web site gives more detail and revised timetables.

The summary timetables on this web site have been amended, but will not be effective until January.
