List of Yellow Buses routes

Below are a list of bus routes operated by Bournemouth operator, Yellow Buses.

Routes as of 23rd October 2011
Below is a list of High Frequency and Low Frequency Routes that are currently run by Yellow Buses.

School & College Specials
After a prolonged period of not running any school contract services, Yellow Buses in September 2008 setup "Your Bus", which operates any new School Contract services that they operate. This started with 3 contracts, the 19, 46 and 81 (the bus running the 19 also runs Low Frequency Route 49 listed above). September 2009 will see the start of a further 5 contracts (49, 91, 92, 93 and 94), bringing the total to 8. Changes during September 2010 saw Route 94 withdrawn and replaced by new Route 95. July 6th 2011 saw Shamrock go bust so YB have stepped in to operate an addition 3 school routes until the end of the Summer Term. Summer 2011 has seen a lot of changes to contracts including the withdrawal of funding for the BPC services, but also new services gained by YB for QE School in Wimborne. As of September 2011, school buses will be operated by YB themselves except for Routes 85 & 86 which will be operated by Your Bus.

Previous Services (Transdev era)
The following services listed here were withdrawn while Transdev owned the Yellows.


 * 2: Bournemouth Triangle - Bournemouth Hospital via Rail Station & Springbourne
 * This service replaced what was part of Routes 33 & 34 before the Big Network Change of July 2006
 * This service was in turn replaced by the 2a/2b/2c service from 22 July 2007 (using a slightly different route).

This meant that a large number of people living in the Littledown area were deprived of a bus service to Bournemouth town centre. This caused much disruption and dismay, and was only rectified when route 39 was introduced a year later.


 * 3a: Westbourne - Iford via Bournemouth, Charminster, Castlepoint and Bournemouth Hospital
 * This was the replacement for the 32 when the Big Network Change of July 2006 was implemented, originally running between Bournemouth Square and Christchurch Civic Offices via the station, leaving out Richmond Hill and the section of route between Christchurch and Highcliffe. A year on from the big change, the section of route between Iford and Christchurch was withdrawn, but was extended beyond Bournemouth Square to Westbourne, thereby serving Westover Road and not Bournemouth Pier.
 * This service was replaced by Route 3 from 25th May 2008 running between Bournemouth Square and Bournemouth Hospital


 * 3b: Westbourne - Boscombe via Bournemouth, Charminster, Castlepoint, Townsend, Bournemouth Hospital, Holdenhurst Avenue and Kings Park
 * This was the replacement for Route 35 when the Big Network Change of July 2006 was implemented. There was, however, no major changes to the overall route apart from running via the Station and not Richmond Hill. A year on from the big change, the service was extended beyond Bournemouth Square to Westbourne, thereby serving Westover Road and not Bournemouth Pier.

 * - Route 3 between Bournemouth Square and Bournemouth Hospital via Charminster and Castlepoint
 * - Routes 2a/2b between Broadway Tavern and Boscombe via Castlepoint, Townsend, Bournemouth Hospital, Iford and Pokesdown
 * - Route 39 between Bournemouth Hospital and Boscombe via Holdenhurst Avenue and Kings Park (this service also continues to Bournemouth Square from Boscombe)


 * 3c: Westbourne - Castlepoint via Bournemouth and Charminster

 * This service was replaced by Route 3 from 25th May 2008 running between Bournemouth Square and Bournemouth Hospital


 * 6a: Bournemouth - Wallisdown Canford Avenue via Winton & University
 * This service was originally launched as a replacement for Route 10 in July 2006's Big Network Change and ran between Bournemouth & Kinson via Winton, University, Canford Avenue and Poole Lane. In May 2008, the route was shortened with alternate journeys terminating at either Wallisdown Roundabout or Canford Avenue. Route 6 replaces the majority of this route, with the Canford Avenue part of the route being taken up by the extension of Route 36.


 * 6b: Bournemouth - West Howe via Winton, University, Wallisdown & High Howe
 * This service was originally launched as a replacement for Route 9 in July 2006's Big Network Change and ran between Bournemouth & Kinson via Winton, University, Wallisdown, High Howe & Bear Cross. In May 2008, the route was changed beyond High Howe to serve West Howe and no longer serve Bear Cross & Kinson. This route is replaced by the new Service 6 from June 6th 2010.


 * 6c: Bournemouth - Canford Heath via Winton, University & Wallisdown
 * This service was originally launched as a replacement for Route 69 in July 2006's Big Network Change and ran between Bournemouth & Tower Park via Winton, University, Wallisdown, Alder Hills & Alderney. In July 2007, the service was extended beyond Tower Park to Canford Heath, but in May 2008, the route was changed to run a slightly more direct route to Canford Heath via Wallisdown & Canford Way. This route is replaced by the new Service 6 from June 6th 2010 between Bournemouth and the Mountbattern Roundabout, however, the section of route between the Mountbattern Roundabout and Canford Heath is withdrawn.


 * 12: Christchurch - Sandbanks via Tuckton, Hengistbury Head, Southbourne, Boscombe Pier, East Cliff, Bournemouth Square, Bournemouth Pier, Durley Chine, Alum Chine, Branksome Chine, Compton Acres and Lilliput
 * Unfortunately, the Open Top Coastal Service has now been withdrawn as of the end of the summer of 2007.
 * In 2008 a new company (half owned by TYB) took over the running of it on a shorter section of route and once again making it a heritage route, by using 2 VR's (both fully open top) and 2 Fleetlines (one partly open top and the other closed top, both of which are ex-Thamesdown and ex-Yellow Buses). This service was called Seafront12. However, it remained loss-making, and TYB took the decision to stop running the service in June 2009.


 * 28a: Bournemouth Triangle - Kinson via Rail Station, Springbourne, Kings Park, Boscombe, Pokesdown, Iford, Bournemouth Hospital, Castlepoint, Moordown and Ensbury Park

Originally ran Cemetery Junction & Talbot Woods, but after a year, the Charminster & Winton sections were added and were run in different directions to provide loops back to town.
 * This service was replaced by the 36 from 28th September 2009.


 * 38: Bournemouth Triangle - Bourne Valley Viaduct via Surrey Road.

 * 40: Bournemouth Square/Pier - Christchurch via East Cliff, Boscombe Gardens, Boscombe Pier, Southbourne Cross Roads, Hengistbury Head and Tuckton Bridge.
 * With Route 39, this provided a bus every half hour between Bournemouth Square/Pier and Boscombe Gardens via East Cliff. This was a non-open topper replacement for the old 12 route and was run with Single Deck Darts.
 * Route ran between May 29th 2010 and October 2nd 2010.


 * 41: Throop - Boscombe Pier via Castlepoint, Queens Park, Rail Station, Southcote Road & Boscombe Bus Station

 * 747: Bournemouth Triangle - Bournemouth Airport via Travel Interchange
 * This was formally service A1. This service ran irregularly to meet the needs of certain Airliners.
 * This service is now operated hourly between 7am and 7pm by Discover Dorset as Route A1 using an Optare Versa.

Tesco Services
These services were under contract and serve two different Tesco stores (Castle Lane, near Bournemouth Hospital and Tesco Ferndown). Transdev did not (and neither did Yellow Buses Bournemouth) publicise these services in any timetable or website. A contract change meant that Shamrock Buses ran these services from early 2007.

School Specials
Transdev Yellow Buses ran a number of school specials, some of which were under contract for LEAs other than Bournemouth. It is understood now that Transdev Yellow Buses will no longer run school specials in the Bournemouth Area from 22 July 2007. However, as of September 2008, TYB have now won contracts to run again, but they will be using a new brand called "Your Bus" rather than the main "Yellow Buses" name.

Previous Services (pre Transdev)
The bus network has seen many changes over the years. Some route numbers, for example, have been reused several times.

Eventually, route 4 was axed on Sundays when route 9 started to run in the evenings.

 * This service used to turn in Malvern Road and Charminster Avenue near St Walburga's School. At times it was extended to Bournemouth Pier.


 * 5: Bournemouth Pier/Square - Moore Avenue/Kinson via Travel Interchange, Winton, Ensbury Park
 * Originally, this service ran between Bournemouth Square and Moore Avenue. Eventually, Evening & Sundays services were extended to serve Kinson, until the point where it went to Kinson all the time.

 * 5A: Bournemouth Pier/Square - Moore Avenue via Madeira Road, Travel Interchange, Winton, Ensbury Park

 * This was introduced to make route 7 a combined every 30 min frequency. This has now been replaced by Route 28b in the Network Change of July 2, 2006 and extended beyond Boscombe to Bournemouth via Bournemouth Railway Station.


 * X8: Bournemouth Square - Bournemouth Airport
 * This was the original version of the A1, but was not used enough, so it was axed, but was resurrected in the form of Route A1 when that started. This bus had a dedicated bus allocated to it, fleet number 153 (ERU 153V - Leyland Fleetline) painted up in Bournemouth Airport Airbus colours.


 * 9: Bournemouth Pier/Square - Bear Cross via Travel Interchange, Winton, Wallisdown, Knighton Heath Road
 * Originally ran from Bournemouth Triangle to Bear Cross via Richmond Hill, Winton, Wallisdown & Knighton Heath Road, but was re-routed to serve the Travel Interchange and terminate at Bournemouth Square when route 9A was axed. With this, along with Route 69, Yellow Buses set up an every 30 minute frequency between Mountbatten Arms and Bournemouth Square via Wallisdown, Winton and Travel Interchange which followed the same route during Mondays to Saturdays Daytimes.
 * Replaced by Route 6b in the Network Change of July 2, 2006. Now only used by a single decker bus which is proven to be too over crowded and lacks disabled access causing much destress to passengers who formally used route 9.


 * 9A: Bournemouth Pier/Square - Bear Cross via Travel Interchange, Winton, Wallisdown & Knighton Heath Road
 * A route which ran on the Evening, Sunday and Bank Holiday timetable to maintain a connection through the station to the Talbot Campus of the University and Wallisdown. It was needed as the 69 route did not run at these times. This route is desperately needed again.


 * 10: Tuckton Bridge - Kinson via Southbourne, Fisherman's Walk, Shelley Park, Southcote Road, Rail Station, Lansdowne, Bournemouth Square, Glenferness Avenue, Wallisdown, Turbary Park and Maclean Road.
 * This was the original version of Route 10; in 1978 it was extended to Kinson to replace the 30 route when it was altered to run to Poole. Then in the 1990s it was shortened to run between Bournemouth Triangle - Kinson via Glenferness Avenue, Wallisdown & Turbary Park, thus withdrawing the section of route between Bournemouth and Tuckton Bridge.
 * Replaced by Route 6a between Bournemouth Square and Kinson, but runs via Travel Interchange & Winton and not Glenferness Avenue. The section of route between Bournemouth Triangle and Talbot Roundabout via Glenferness Avenue is replaced by Route 37 after Bournemouth Council stepped in.


 * 11: Chines & Pines Circular Tour (Summer Only/Open Top Route)
 * This service was taken over from Christchurch Buses. This service used Vintage Yellow Buses.


 * 11: The Original Bournemouth Tour (Summer Only/Open Top Route)

 * 11: Sandbanks - Christchurch Quay via Lilliput, Compton Acres, Canford Cliffs, Branksome Chine, Alum Chine, Westbourne, Bournemouth Triangle/Square/Pier, Boscombe, Boscombe Pier, Southbourne and Tuckton Bridge (Summer Only/Coastal Service/Open Top Route)
 * Originally this service only ran between Bournemouth Pier and Christchurch Quay, but was extended after time beyond Bournemouth Pier to Sandbanks.
 * This service ran hourly, but with Route 12, provided a 30 minute overall frequency between Sandbanks and Southbourne. Eventually, it was decided to merge this route into Route 12


 * 12: Sandbanks - Christchurch Civic Offices (Summer Only/Coastal Service/Open Top Route)
 * This service over its lifetime has seen lots of changes. Originally running between Hengistbury Head and Alum Chine, this route did very well. After many years, it was extended beyond Alum Chine to Sandbanks, and thus it provided (in conjunction with Route 11) a 30 minute overall frequency between Sandbanks and Southbourne.
 * Eventually, it was decided to merge Routes 11 & 12 together to make a new Route 12 covering Sandbanks to Christchurch Quay via Lilliput, Compton Acres, Canford Cliffs, The Chines, The Piers (including Bournemouth Town Centre), Southbourne, Hengistbury Head and Tuckton Bridge.
 * LOW SUMMER TIME: Ran between Sandbanks Ferry and Christchurch Quay every hour.
 * HIGH SUMMER TIME: It ran every 30 minutes using the fleet of convertible Daimler/Leyland Fleetlines. This ran for many years until in 2002, when it was decided to start playing around with the service, in that there would be 2 buses and hour between Alum Chine and Christchurch Quay with one an hour extending to Sandbanks. 2002 also saw 3 new Volvo B7TL ELC Vyking Convertible open toppers arrive, however, only 431 (which was in the Centenary Livery) was used that year, and the rest of the open-toppers were made up of fleetlines. The following year, the service was restored back to its original every 30minutes between Sandbanks and Christchurch Quay, and also saw all 3 Volvo B7TL ELC Vyking Convertibles used with the rest made up of Convertible Fleetlines again.
 * In 2004 however, everything suddenly changed when the company decided to start selling their Convertible Fleetlines (except for 138 and 140), which saw Route 12's frequency of service reduced to every hour for the whole Low & High Summer Season. Also, it was decided that Route 12 would no longer serve Alum Chine after the year before's incident with the Alum Chine car park traffic jam all along Alumhurst Road.
 * In 2005, the route was restore back to serve Alum Chine, however, the service was diverted away from Christchurch Quay to serve Christchurch High Street and Christchurch Civic Offices, but remained an hourly service.
 * In 2006, the route was changed between Bournemouth and Christchurch in that the section of route between Boscombe Gardens and Christchurch was withdrawn and was diverted to serve Bournemouth Railway Station.
 * In 2007, it was restored to the 2005 route, serving the West Cliff and Alum Chine again, as well as Christchurch Civic Offices.
 * In 2008, the service was operated between Bournemouth and Boscombe Piers by subsidiary company, Classic Southdown Omniubuses Limited, as a heritage route.
 * In 2009, TYB took the decision to withdraw this route altogether.


 * 15: Chines & Pines Circular Tour (Summer Only/Open Top Route)
 * This service was originally operated by Christchurch Buses (a bit like White Buses, it was a subsidiary of Yellow Buses). Eventually, it was withdrawn and given to Vintage Yellow Buses (another Yellow Buses subsidiary) to operate it, to which it was re-numbered to Route 11.


 * 16: Bournemouth Pier - Boscombe Pier via Seafront


 * 16/16A: Bournemouth Square/Triangle - Westbourne - Alum Chine (Route 16A only)


 * 17: Alum Chine - Bournemouth Triangle/Pier/Square - Throop Church via West Cliff, Rail Station & Charminster
 * This service was relaunched as SUPER ROUTE 17 in 1995 when the company invested in a Real Time System for the route and brought 4 buses for this route, fleet numbers 451 to 454 inclusive, in Super Route 17 livery displaying the route it took along the side of the bus. In 2005, the Super Route 17 livery was changed to be the standard livery with just the words "SUPER 17" above the blue curve at the rear of the bus.
 * Replaced by Route 24 in the Network Change of July 2, 2006.


 * 18: Throop - Boscombe via Charminster, Cooper Dean, Queens Park and Royal Victoria Hospital


 * 18: Alum Chine - Bournemouth Triangle/Pier/Square - Muscliffe via West Cliff, Rail Station & Charminster & Moordown
 * This service used to link to and from route 33/34 at Muscliffe. Also, route 18 in the last year of it running was diverted away from Bournemouth Pier to assist in its running time.
 * This service was withdrawn when it was decided to run a full circuit of Routes 33/34 on Evenings and Sundays.


 * 19 Bournemouth Square - Bourne Valley
 * This short route ran up the Bourne Avenue and Branksome Wood Road, involving diversions via Prince of Wales and Surrey Roads, to terminate below the railway viaducts near Coy Pond. The service was withdrawn in the late 1970s.


 * 19: Bournemouth Square - Kinson via Glenferness Avenue, Winton & Wallisdown
 * This route started in 1984 as a Sunday combination of the 9 and 10 routes of the time. It was abandoned in favour of running the 4/9 through fares route on Sundays.


 * 20: Bournemouth Triangle/Square - Somerford Sainsbury's via Boscombe, Iford & Christchurch
 * Originally started at Westbourne, but that section of the route was later transferred to route 22 for a period of time until that section was axed.
 * Replaced by Route 1a in the Network Change of July 2, 2006.


 * 21: Bournemouth Pier/Square - Somerford Sainsbury's via Boscombe, Fisherman's Walk, Southbourne Cross Roads, Tuckton Bridge, Kings Avenue, Christchurch and Somerford Estate
 * Was introduced when route 25 was axed in 2001. This replaced one of the route 22 journeys an hour during the daytime Monday to Saturday and ran the exact same route as the 22, however it also served Kings Avenue. Eventually, route 21 journeys were returned to route 22 journey's and the Kings Avenue section of route then became part of route 68.


 * 22: Poole - Somerford Sainsbury's via Poole Hospital, Ashley Cross, Penn Hill, Westbourne, Bournemouth Triangle/Square, Boscombe, Fisherman's Walk, Southbourne Cross Roads, Tuckton Bridge, Christchurch and Somerford Estate
 * This service has seen many changes. It originally ran between Bournemouth Square and Hengistbury Head but was extended to serve Somerford and, later, to Westbourne when route 20 was shortened to terminate at the Square, However, soon after, route 22 was shortened back to Bournemouth Square. Then, in a strange twist of events, route 22 after 18.30 each day would not go any further than Tuckton, and then eventually, route 22 wouldn't go any further than Christchurch on Sundays until 18.30 when it would not go any further than Tuckton, leaving out Somerford Estate and Somerford. Then in August 2005, Wilts & Dorset opted to drop route 101 from their services, so the Yellows took route 101 over then shortly after, it was merged into route 22, therefore extended Route 22 beyond Bournemouth Square, and the 6 Volvo B7TL ELC Myllennium Vykings were given Route 22 brandings and were thus allocated to the route. In December 2005, Transdev brought the company, and the decision was made to removed the brandings from the 6 Volvo B7TL ELC Myllennium Vykings. In July 2006, the big network changed the route this bus took, and instead was rerouted to run via Upper Parkstone and Sea View, and were renumbered 1c. However, Roadliner created a link between Penn Hill and Upper Parkstone with their new Route 8, thus still giving passengers a link to Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch, albeit not a direct service. Following the collapse of Roadliner this route was taken over by Shamrock Buses in August 2009. Also, Wilts & Dorset still run Route 150 between Bournemouth & Penn Hill.
 * Replaced by Route 1c in the Network Change of July 2, 2006.


 * X22: Bournemouth Square - Highcliffe Sea Corner via Wessex Way, Fairmile, Christchurch & Somerford Estate. LIMITED STOP SERVICE
 * Originally ran between Bournemouth Square and Somerford (Sainsbury's), but when Route 31/32 were extended to Somerford/Highcliffe, route X22 was extended to serve Highcliffe, but would not serve Somerford Sainsbury's as a result. This service was withdrawn in July 2006.


 * 23: Bournemouth Triangle/Square - Christchurch via Boscombe, Fisherman's Walk, Cranleigh Estate, Tuckton Bridge
 * During the last few years on route 23, it was shortened to terminate at Tuckton Bridge after 18.30 each day.

 * 25: Westbourne - Christchurch via Bournemouth Triangle/Square, Rail Station, Boscombe, Fisherman's Walk, Southbourne Cross Roads, Tuckton Bridge & Kings Avenue
 * This route originally only ran between Westbourne and Boscombe, but was then extended to Christchurch.
 * This service (along with route 16/16A) were the 1st routes in Yellow Buses to see Low Floor Buses. Evenings and Sunday journeys on Route 25 only ran between Westbourne and Boscombe Bus Station. Unfortunately, in 2001, this service was axed and the Kings Avenue section of the route was given to the NEW service, route 21.

 * When Route 28 was withdrawn, this route linked to Route 7. This has been replaced by Route 25 in the Network Change of July 2, 2006.


 * 28: Boscombe - Kinson via Winton, Ensbury Park, East Howe, Holloway Avenue
 * This service originally linked into Route 7 at Kinson. When Route 28 was withdrawn in January 2001, Route 27 linked to Route 7 at Kinson.


 * 29: Boscombe - Poole Rail Station/Poole Quay via Winton, Wallisdown (including Fern Barrow), Alderney, Poole Hospital
 * This service was originally introduced to replace one of the Route 30 buses every hour. The idea was to have Route 29 serve Fern Barrow every hour, and have Route 30 not serve Fern Barrow, thus still providing a 30 minute frequency on most of the route. After a year, Route 29 was re-merged back into Route 30, and with that Route 30 started serving Fern Barrow every 30mins yet again.


 * 30: Boscombe - Poole Bus Station via Winton, Wallisdown (including Fern Barrow), Alderney, Poole Hospital
 * Oddly enough, this was the original route that service 30 took when it first started with a 30 minute frequency. After that came a series of changes to the service. The service was changed at the Poole end, from Poole Hospital it would go to Poole Railway Station, then continue onto Poole Quay, instead of serve Poole Bus Station. Then, the option was taken to extend the service the at the other end, therefore extending the service beyond Boscombe Bus Station to Boscombe Pier. Then, Condor Ferries funded for the extension of some buses beyond Poole Quay to serve the Poole Ferry Terminal. This lasted for a few years until Condor Ferries withdrew funding, and the service was reset to terminate at Poole Quay once more. Then, Route 29 was introduced to replace one bus an hour on Route 30. The idea was to allow Route 30 not to serve Fern Barrow, and just to have Route 29 serve Fern Barrow every hour. Also during that time, the service was shortened at the Boscombe end, thus making Boscombe Bus Station the terminating spot once more. After a year, Route 29 was merged back into Route 30, and route 30 started to serve Fern Barrow every half hour once again. The last change to Route 30 was to have it put back to its original route, thus it terminated at Poole Bus Station once more. However, with this change, one bus per hour on Route 30 was replaced by Route 40, which ran the same route between Winton Banks and Poole via Fern Barrow as Route 30, but Route 40 started at Castlepoint. This brought to an end the 30 minute frequency of Route 30 between Winton Banks and Boscombe. Service 30 was financially supported by The Borough of Poole.
 * In the Network Change of July 2, 2006, Route 30 was replaced by Route 26, but Route 40 was withdrawn, and the option was taken to keep Route 26 every hour as Route 30 was previously.


 * 31: Bournemouth Square - Moore Avenue via Winton, Ensbury Park and Fernheath Road.


 * 31: Bournemouth Triangle/Square - Somerford Sainsbury's via Charminster, Castlepoint/Hospital, Fisherman's Walk, Southbourne Cross Roads, Tuckton Bridge, Christchurch & Mudeford


 * 32: Bournemouth Triangle/Square - Highcliffe Sea Corner via Charminster, Castlepoint/Hospital, Iford, Jumpers, Fairmile, Christchurch & Mudeford
 * Originally, this service only ran between Bournemouth and Jumpers Corner. It was some time before it was extended to serve Fairmile, Christchurch and Purewell. This set-up ran for some time until the decision was made to have the 68 extend to Purewell and the 32 terminate at Christchurch Civic Offices. Of course, this lasted a few months as the route was then re-extended back to Purewell, but also further extended to serve Mudeford and Highcliffe.
 * This service was replaced by Route 3a in the Network Change of July 2, 2006, which only ran between Bournemouth and Christchurch.

 * 68: Purewell - Alderney via Christchurch, Kings Avenue, Tuckton Bridge, Southbourne Cross Roads, Fisherman's Walk, Boscombe, Rail Station, Bournemouth Square/Triangle, Westbourne, Upper Parkstone, Sea View
 * This route originally only ran between Alderney and Boscombe, but was then extended to Christchurch. Then, Kings Avenue became part of the route when the 21 was axed, then the route was extended to Purewell from Christchurch after the 31 was shortended to terminate at Christchurch and not Purewell.
 * This service traditionally linked to route 69 at Alderney. In the network change of 2 July 2006, only parts of the service were replaced by many routes. The section between Pokesdown and Bournemouth Triangle was replaced by route 28a/b in the Network Change of July 2, 2006, and the sections of route between Purewell and Boscombe and also Lansdowne and Sea View was replaced by route 1b/c in the Network Change of July 2, 2006..


 * 69: Alderney - Bournemouth Pier/Square via Wallisdown, Winton & Travel Interchange
 * This service traditionally linked to route 68 at Alderney. When Route 9 was re-routed, Yellow Buses set up an every 30 minute frequency between Mountbatten Arms and Bournemouth Square via Wallisdown, Winton and Travel Interchange which followed the same route during Mondays to Saturdays Daytimes. When the 2 July 2006 Network Change came into force, this bus was re-routed between Wallisdown Roundabout and Alderney to run via Alder Hills, and also received an extension to serve Tower Park. It is now renumbered as Route 6c in the Network Change of July 2, 2006. In a way, this also brought part of the old route 70 back into force with the service running between Bournemouth and Tower Park, though the Tower Park section has now been withdrawn with the 6c running to Canford Heath instead.


 * 70: Bournemouth Triangle/Square - Tower Park
 * This was run in conjunction with route 26 and to provide a new link to Tower Park by the Yellows, but was rather short-lived.The service only ran evenings and Sundays and was provided at the request and suggestion of the many Language Schools in Bournemouth.

 * 101: Bournemouth Square - Poole Bus Station via Bournemouth Triangle, Westbourne, Penn Hill, Ashley Cross and Poole Hospital
 * Taken over from Wilts & Dorset when it was axed from their services in August 2005, this route was allocated the 4 brand new Wrights Merits (which were originally intended to be used on Super Route 17). In October 2005, Route 101 was merged into Route 22, therefore extended Route 22 beyond Bournemouth Square, and the 6 Volvo B7TL ELC Myllennium Vykings were given Route 22 brandings and were thus allocated to the route. In December 2005, Transdev brought the company, and the decision was made to removed the brandings from the 6 Volvo B7TL ELC Myllennium Vykings. In July 2006, the big network changed the route this bus took, and instead was rerouted to run via Upper Parkstone and Sea View, and were renumbered 1c. However, Roadliner have created a link between Penn Hill and Upper Parkstone with their new Route 8, thus still giving passengers a link to Bournemouth & Poole & Christchurch, albeit not a direct service. This route was taken over by Shamrock Buses in August 2009 when Roadliner ceased operations. Wilts & Dorset also run Route 150 between Bournemouth and Penn Hill.


 * 147: Bournemouth Square - Poole Bus Station via Bournemouth Triangle, Westbourne, Canford Cliffs, Lilliput, Ashley Cross and Poole Hospital
 * Taken over from Wilts & Dorset when it was axed from their services in August 2005, however, the Yellows axed it in April 2006. It has been partially replaced by Roadliner as an extension of their route 8 from Upper Parkstone (this route has been operated by Shamrock Buses since Roadliner's collapse in August 2009). Most of the route however has no current service.


 * 168: Upper Parkstone - Bourne Estate - Upper Parkstone
