Nearly three and a half million pounds is being spent in improvements to bus services in and around Bournemouth and Poole.


The Department for Transport funding comes as a result of a successful joint application from the two towns' councils - and Dorset County Council.

The money's gonna go towards improving Real Time Information at busy stops, upgrading some of the stops themselves including adding solar powered lighting, tackling congestion and delays to traffic along the key bus corridors and installing audible announcement devices - as well as marketing and driver training.
