Bus area guides

Dorset County Council produces three area timetable books that cover the county of Dorset but do not include Bournemouth or Poole. Information for these areas is available from Wilts and Dorset buses (opens in a new window) and Yellow Buses (opens in a new window) .

The current area bus guides, published on 02 December 2012, are available from Tourist Information Centres, Dorset County Council libraries, some rural post offices and village shops or by post.  To request a copy of one of the guides please email Dorset Passenger Transport.

Please note that some timetables may have changed since the guides were published, where possible updated information is published in the individual bus timetables in the table above.  Non-regular users of a service are advised to check with the operator before travelling.

Local bus services and Dorset County Council's role

Local bus services fall into two categories:

Commercial services

These services are the responsibility of the operator concerned and Dorset County Council has limited powers to influence their operation.  Any matters relating to these services should be directed to the Bus operators and contact details.  If you are unsatisfied with their response, contact the Traffic Commissioners: Western Traffic Area Office, Hillcrest House, 386 Harehills Lane, Leeds, LS9 6NF.  Telephone 0300 123 9000.

Subsidised services

These are services which are operated on behalf of Dorset County Council and are wholly or partially financially supported by the County and District/Borough Councils.  These services are indicated by the lion symbol at the top of the bus timetables.  Any matter relating to these services should be directed to Dorset Passenger Transport.
