Zoo-la-la, the Marwell bus is back for another year!

Great news! The Bluestar Z00 from Eastleigh to Marwell Zoo is back for another year.

This year the service will start earlier with buses taking you to the zoo throughout February half term. Then it will return in time for the Easter Holidays from Saturday 5 April, and run every weekend and during school/bank holidays until 2 September. The Bluestar Z00 will be back for October half term too. Check out our calendar below to see the dates when it's running:

This is a great option for those that either don't have a car, or would prefer to leave the car at home. It is easy to connect to this service at Eastleigh Bus Station from the Bluestar 2, 3, 5, 23 or 24 or from the train at Eastleigh Rail Station.

The £3 fare cap will be valid on this route as well as Southampton Plus and Bluestar Network tickets. If you're travelling in a group, one of our group dayriders* may offer you the best value.

*up to 5 people can travel with a group dayrider.
