Service Number 8 (The Rossmore Flyer)
Alderney East - Upper Parkstone - Penn Hill
Service number 8 runs hourly in the daytime and follows a simple circular route.
It links Alderney East with Bourne Estate and takes you straight to your local shops on the Ashley Road.
From here there are connections to frequent buses to Poole Bournemouth and beyond.
Even better, the bus is extended in a loop to serve Lower Parkstone. This gives residents in Alton Road, Sandecotes Rd and Penn Hill a much requested direct service to Upper Parkstone.
We've also updated the bus. It now has a low, step-free entrance for wheelchair access. It's great for buggies and shopping trolleys too!
There's now luxury coach style seating and even air conditioning for your comfort, plus a friendly driver too!
