Yellow buses to withdraw 4d and 27 services

by davidbrown on 16 September, 2013

Yellow buses have just announced that from 3rd November they will stop running the 27 service from Poole through Bearwood to Castlepoint, and also stop the 4d service between Bournemouth and Wimborne through Bearwood and Merley, instead running it through Parley and Ferndown. This service has operated since October 2011 and was introduced following representations from Merley and Bearwood ward councillors.

These are both commercially operated services and it appears that they have not been used by enough passengers for the operators to keep them going.

This announcement will have serious implications for some people in Bearwood getting to work or school. Poole Council is already in discussions to find replacement school bus services.

I would like to hear from any residents who will have problems as a result of the end of the 27 and 4d services through Bearwood so that I can talk to Yellow Buses and Poole Council to address this.
