Dorset Community Transport, ECT Charity’s operation in Dorset, is delighted to announce the launch of its Sherborne ‘A’ PlusBus.  The service connects the communities of Glanvilles Wootton, Holwell, King's Stag, Bishops Caundle, Alweston and North Wootton with Sherborne, their local town, every Tuesday.  

The Sherborne ‘A’ joins 35 other routes on our Dorset PlusBus network, each providing transport for people living in places that are not served by mainstream public transport.

“The Sherborne ‘A’ will make a real difference to the communities it serves” said Tim Christian, General Manager at Dorset Community Transport. “Not only will it help people get to the shops or the supermarket – or simply get out and about – it also helps to tackle rural isolation.

“Old or young, with a mobility difficulty or without, if you live in the communities served by the Sherborne ‘A’ and don’t have easy access to transport, then PlusBus could be just what you’ve been looking for.”

To use the new service, passengers will need to register for PlusBus membership. It’s free to join and can be started with a simple phone call. For full details of the PlusBus network, including routes, pricing and how to join, please see here for more information.
