18    Southsea • Fratton • Hilsea • QA Hospital • Paulsgrove

• More buses! Every 20 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime; every 30 minutes on Sundays - in partnership with Portsmouth City Council and funded through the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP)
• Buses will start from Clarence Pier in Southsea, to improve Isle of Wight connections via Hovertravel
• New route in Southsea means the 18 no longer stops at The Circle or Palmerston Road South, but will call at St Jude's Church for Southsea Shops

We'll be adding extra buses Monday to Saturday, and creating easier links for those travelling to the Isle of Wight via Hovertravel.

  NEW ROUTE 19    Leigh Park • Farlington • Burrfields • Portsmouth City Centre 

• Replaces the current 21 between Anchorage Park and Leigh Park (the new 21 will only run between Portsmouth and Anchorage Park)
• Every hour Monday to Saturday daytime; we’re sorry, but the 19 will not run on Sundays
• Service runs from Leigh Park through Farlington, the Airport Industrial Estate, Admiral Lord Nelson School and Ocean Retail Park into Portsmouth (see interactive stop map here) - in partnership with Portsmouth City Council and funded through the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP)
• Buses will only serve Sywell Crescent on northbound trips towards Leigh Park -  for southbound trips, customers will need to alight at Robinson Way or Williams Road
• In Leigh Park, buses will run a loop from Point 7 roundabout via Middle Park Way, The Swallow, Dunsbury Way, Park Parade and Purbrook Way back to Point 7
• Buses will be timed to the Admiral Lord Nelson School school day and one bus in each direction will call at Portsmouth College (replacing the current 621)

Why are we making changes?

Due to worsening traffic conditions and congestion delays along the Eastern Road, the 21 will only run as far as Anchorage Park. The new 19 will keep the provision between Leigh Park and Copnor, whilst creating new links to the Airport Industrial Estate and Ocean Retail Park. Customers in West Leigh will benefit from the faster, direct service 20 to the city centre. See our guide below for further information.

To avoid congestion delays on the Eastern Road, the 21 will only be running as far as Anchorage Park. This will improve punctuality on the route and ensure buses are at the right place at the right time.

The existing 23 will be split into new routes 22 and 23. The change is being made to improve punctuality due to worsening traffic conditions. This will ensure more buses start on time from Havant Bus Station, and buses to Leigh Park will not be delayed by congestion within the city.

 

The existing 24/7 service on the 23 will continue to run across both routes 22 and 23.
