The Sureline X20 service will operate via Granby Industrial Estate and Southill arriving at Dorchester Trinity Street at 7.25am and Dorset County Hospital at 7.10am.

There will be three return journeys from Dorchester’s Trinity Street at noon, 1pm and 5.20pm. Dorset County Hospital departs at 12.05pm, 1.05pm and 5.25pm on a request basis, Monday to Friday.

The bus is free to concessionary bus pass holders but otherwise it is £3.20 single, £3.50 return; half fare for under 16s.
