Major tourist bus route on England's south coast gets temporary reprieve
http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/9997276.X53_Dorset_to_Devon_coastal_bus_gets_reprieve/?ref=rssThe vehicle was due to stop on Sundays on November 4 after the county council couldn’t find funding.
But now the authority has performed a U-turn and has found £8,000 to keep the Sunday services going until the end of 2012.
Coun Ron Coatsworth, who is the Bride Valley county councillor, said: “I am delighted that people will be able to use their bus service on Sundays during the winter.
“It is important as people can become isolated in villages.”
The X53 runs along the Dorset coast and into Devon. It includes stops in Weymouth, Chickerell, Portesham, Abbotsbury, Burton Bradstock, West Bay, Bridport, Chideock, Morcombelake, Charmouth and Lyme Regis.
