So. Farewell Then City Red buses

bus first no 7 city red at bitterne parkIt's goodbye from Sunday (Feb 19) to First's City Red buses in Southampton, and hello to several new Bluestar bus routes aiming to fill the gaps. Bluestar says many of these are the same as City Red's, but some route numbers will change.

Bus-using Bitterne Parkers may need to know the old Service 7 is being replaced by Bluestar's Service 20: details and timetables here. The council says Bluestar is even celebrating its new services with a launch event for local people by the Bargate from 10am on Tuesday (Feb 21).
