The popular coastal X43 bus service has resumed for the summer.

It operates from Weymouth to Swanage via Wool, Lulworth Cove and Wareham. There will be four return journeys a day from July 21 until September 2, thanks to financial support from Dorset County Council. The council’s cabinet portfolio holder for transport Peter Finney, said: “We hope this service will improve accessibility for people of all ages who want to enjoy the Jurassic coast and the surrounding areas of outstanding natural beauty.”

The first bus leaves Weymouth’s King’s Statue at 10.05am and the last bus of the day leaves Swanage Bus Station at 5.30pm.

In addition to serving Wool, Lulworth Cove and Wareham, the X43 also provides access to the Swanage Railway at the Norden park and ride site.
