In a move designed to simplify the Southampton bus network making it easier for people to both understand and use local buses as a sustainable alternative to other forms of transport, First is planning a complete overhaul of its current network in the city and the surrounding areas from the 29th April 2012.

but how often is it that a firm will change the number of every bus in a city thanks

Lets hope this variation of the So'ton- Pompey direct link will last unlike the many previous attempts of providing a bus route between the two...

Just over an hour and a half for the through journey, looks pretty good to me!

i think it will as a lot of passengers travel between southampton-fareham and then you get a lot between fareham - portsmouth and with it running via the motorway it will go down well i hope the gosport ferry can cope with this new route as some passenger get a bus to gosport and then the ferry over as the bus to fareham from southampton is around 60 mins them a bus from fareham to portsmouth is around 50 mins thanks
