A NEW evening bus service will be launched this summer, linking Lyme Regis and Bridport and the villages in between.
The service, called LB1, will start on Friday 1 May and will run every Friday and Saturday night until Saturday 26 September.
LB1 will start at Bridport bus station at 6.15pm and the last bus will leave Lyme Regis at 11.30pm, stopping at Chideock, Morecombelake and Charmouth.
There will also be the opportunity to link with the X53 service from Weymouth for the first two buses from Bridport and the last bus from Lyme Regis will travel back to Weymouth, offering even more flexibility for passengers.
The project for a late-night bus service was spearheaded by West Dorset Commons, who worked in partnership with Lyme Regis Town Council to secure a £20,000 grant from Western Gateway STB, the Sub-national Transport Body for the West of England.
