The basic pattern of the service is unchanged, but extra time has been allowed for journeys between Weymouth/ Dorchester and Bridport, which means that buses leave Weymouth and Dorchester earlier. I must also highlight the X53 18.17 [Sat+Sun] Bridport CS – Weymouth. Whilst this is shown as a connection out of the X51 17.25 [Sat+Sun] Axminster – Dorchester, it is not a guaranteed connection! The X53 will wait up to 5 minutes for the X51, but not any longer. We have asked First Wessex to guarantee the connection, but – so far – this has been refused. Of course, passengers on the X51 travelling to Weymouth itself may travel to Dorchester and transfer to a no. 10 service.
