Welcome
This guide has been compiled to show what can be done with a bus pass or in many cases a Wilts & Dorset Explorer ticket. (Journeys using Reds, More, Blue Star and Damory) We have just been through a reorganisation (cutbacks?) of the services subsidised by Dorset County Council but there are still a lot of travel opportunities which is why I continue to publish this little book. I do hope that you enjoy these days out and by using the buses it means we keep them.

Small Print The times were correct at the time of compilation (24 May 2014). These
suggested days out are only an indication of what can be done by bus. They should not be relied on as buses can run late or even be cancelled at short notice. Please check with the bus companies concerned that the service is running before setting out.
Why can’t I get anywhere by bus any more?
