Whitehill and Bordon bus boost
Stagecoach, in partnership with Hampshire and Surrey County Councils, has introduced several improvements to local bus services, effective from 8 June 2025. These enhancements are funded through the Bus Service Improvement Plans (BSIPs), supported by the Department for Transport, to encourage greater use of buses on key routes.
The updates aim to better serve growing communities and improve public transport accessibility across the region.
- Service 18 now runs every 30 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays, and hourly on Sundays, offering improved connections to Farnham and Aldershot. Click here for the timetable
- Service 13 now operates on Sundays, linking Bordon, Alton, and Basingstoke with six return trips. The first bus departs Bordon at 08:00, and the last returns from Basingstoke at 18:30. Click here for the timetable
- Service 23 has also been re-routed to serve Forest Road, Pinehill Road (Forest Centre) and Apollo Drive to replace service 18 journeys. A new route map is available here.
The Lindford Link
The construction work connecting Lindford to Bordon across the River Wey via a bridge, boardwalk, and footpath is now complete.
The pedestrian bridge spans 14 meters across the river and is 3.5 meters wide, allowing safe and uninterrupted two-way passage. This new link provides quicker and easier access to the town centre for Lindford residents.
The boardwalk starts near Hawthorn Way and the allotment gardens in Lindford, leads across the River Wey, and connects with a path to St Lucia Park in Bordon.
Why not take a festive walk and explore the outdoors along this new, shorter route in your neighbourhood?
