Bus company Xelabus says it’s “teamed up with Sainsbury’s supermarkets to provide a new hoppa bus service to the new Portswood store”. Its new X13 and X14 services also bring new bus routes to some areas.
Xelabus is a family-owned bus company based in Eastleigh. It operates double- and single-decker buses for contracts and schools, as well as a local network of town buses between Fair Oak, Eastleigh and Boyatt Wood and Valley Park.
