Deborah Fiddik, Transport Development Officer for Dorset Travel, has advised the Council that the 212 bus service leaving Holywell at 0850 (and subsequently Stratton at 0915) should have an exception for concessionary bus passes to be used for the whole journey. This revised information is now available on Dorset For You (https://www.dorsetforyou.gov.uk/media/183437/Full-list-of-public-transport-services-that-can-be-used-before-9.30am-19-July-2016/pdf/Weekday_exceptions_-_concessionary_fares_scheme.pdf ) and the bus company has been advised.
It appears that this service wasn’t included in the list on Dorset For You – as it has been in the past – and was probably inadvertently removed when information on Dorset For You was last updated.
