Bus shelters and bus stops
We can offer advice concerning the positioning and maintenance of bus shelters and bus stops.
Bus stops in Dorset (excluding stops in Weymouth and Portland)
The provision and locations of bus stops in Dorset are the responsibility of the county council.
If you would like to ask for a bus stop to be created, removed or relocated, you should first make contact via your local parish or town council. They will pass all requests on to Dorset County Council for consideration.
To find the location of your local bus stop, go to
Travel Dorset (opens in a new window)
and click on the find stop/station link. You can search by stop name, road, area or postcode.
Many of the bus shelters in Dorset have been provided by the county council; others by local councils. Each Dorset County Council bus shelter has an ID number located on the roof panel.
To report damage to a bus shelter in Dorset (apart from those within Weymouth and Portland) please contact Dorset Direct and they will notify the appropriate authority.
Bus stops in Weymouth and Portland
The provision and maintenance of bus stops and shelters in Weymouth and Portland are the responsibility of the borough council.
