Changes to our CR8 morning school journey

29th August, 2024

Our CR8 route from Puddletown to Blandford will have a temporary change on the 07:52 weekday school journey because of low hanging trees in the Milton Abbas area. The branches have been reported and we will update you when we can carry on using the normal route. Keep reading to see how your journey could be affected:

• The bus will start from Puddletown 5 minutes earlier at 07:47
• The bus will then arrive at Milborne St Andrew 5 minutes earlier than usual at 07:55. Here, the bus will stop at the main road bus stop, NOT outside the Londis on Milton Road.
• The bus will then go down the A354 to Winterborne Whitechurch and turn left into Chescombe Lane to arrive in Milton Abbas.
• Milton Abbas Catherine's Well will be served 3 minutes earlier at 08:07.
• From here, buses will go back to Winterborne Whitechurch to continue the normal route and timetable from the Reading Room 08:19.

There will be no other changes to the route. Thank you for your patience during the diversion, we hope that the route can go back to normal as soon as it is safe to do so.
