We've launched a new easier to use timetable guide, created to help our passengers and potential new customers find their most appropriate Bluestar route around Southampton and South Hampshire. The complete guide to the Bluestar bus network covers all our services across Southampton, Winchester, Eastleigh, Hedge End, Romsey and the Waterside and is now available from travel shops, tourist information centres, most bus drivers and by post from us at Bluestar HQ.

Our Operations Manager Alex Hornby says that the 80 page guide has been carefully designed to show the network of services in a coat pocket or handbag friendly size and the company is moving away from using individual leaflets for each service.

"We have consulted our customers, as well as our travel shop staff who provide information to bus users on a day-to-day basis, for their views and suggestions for the user friendly guide. We hope it will spread the message that Bluestar is the network of choice in the region, and can cater for many journey opportunities - whether it's for work, rest or play," said Alex. "The guide includes detailed route maps and advice on how to gain additional information either by phone or on-line."

The timetables are available from a number of outlets across the Bluestar network and can be posted free of charge by calling 023 8061 8233. Obviously this is all in addition to the timetable sections across our websites.
