BUS TIMES 2017 for those services which receive a subsidy from the relevant County Council, within the West Dorset area covered by WATAG. These routes operate to and from Beaminster, Bridport and Lyme Regis; a minor route also operates between Thorncombe and both Chard and Axminster, and are as follows:- 14: Thorncombe – Chard 40: Bridport Hospital – Bridport – Beaminster – Yeovil 44: Bridport – Bothenhampton Circular 71: Lyme Regis Town Service 73: Powerstock – Bridport 210: Litton Cheney – Bridport 688: Thorncombe – Axminster 899: Seaton – Lyme Regis (Woodroffe School) Dorset County Council has decreed that the following ‘‘services will not be supported beyond the current contractual date of 22 July 2017”:- 44: Bridport - Bothenhampton Circular 71: Lyme Regis Town Service 73: Powerstock – Bridport 210: Litton Cheney - Bridport In addition to the services shown in this publication, there are a number of operators who offer a “book in advance” service; these are:- Axe Valley & West Dorset Ring & Ride: Tel: 01404 46520 Dorset Community Transport: Tel: 01258 287 980 If your bus service is affected by the withdrawal of subsidy and there are no alternative means of travel, it is recommended that you contact the County Councillor for your area, also your Parish Council. Dorset CC have produced a “Tool Kit” to assist in the setting up of a replacement service but it is for the “Community” to make arrangements with a suitable provider. It is important that the current services are used right up to closure as commercial operators are unlikely to even consider a service carrying less than 12 passengers per trip. This is based around the expectation by DCC that operators successful in being awarded Secondary and Middle contracts may carry fare paying passengers and may be prepared to use the down time between morning and afternoon school runs to provide a commercial service in the area. Produced by WEST DORSET WESTERN AREA TRANSPORT ACTION GROUP WATAG meets every two months at the W.I.Hall, North Street in Bridport where members of the public can discuss issues with representatives of the bus companies and rail companies.
