A new bus route has been introduced while passengers in Gosport and Fareham are getting used to a new timetable.

First Bus South has introduced the number 5 service which runs between Gosport and Fareham bus stations. It stops near the War Memorial Hospital, in Stubbington Village, near Fareham College and elsewhere.

Changes have been made to the X4 and X5 routes which run in Gosport and Fareham, with a new 5 service being introduced. Pictured at the latest electric buses in Guildhall Square. Picture: Mike Cooter (110324) | Mike Cooter

It follows the route of the original X5, operating between Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Stubbington and Fareham. Buses run every 30 minutes from Monday to Saturday, and hourly on Sunday.

First Bus has extended the X5 route to start and finish at The Hard Interchange - running in the same direction as the X4. The X5 will now run in the evenings between Fareham and Portsmouth from Monday to Saturday, with new buses every hour.

The changes came into effect last Sunday (May 26). The X4 route has been altered, with vehicles now operating later in the evenings and running between Fareham and Portsmouth on an hourly basis. Further information and full timetables can be found on the First Bus website.
