YELLOW Buses’ iconic open toppers will be back this weekend after a 10-year hiatus.
There will be two open top routes available - a new R2 service between Bournemouth and Poole Quay and an hourly C1 service linking Bournemouth and Alum Chine via Westbourne and West Cliff.
The Poole Quay service will run every half hour daily, including public holidays, from Saturday (July 22) until Wednesday, August 30.
The Alum Chine service will also operate daily, including public holidays, from Saturday but end on Sunday, September 3.
The new open top service is in addition to the existing C1 service operating between Castlepoint and Alum Chine.
As a result the Bournemouth to Alum Chine stretch of the route will see two buses per hour Mondays to Saturdays plus a Sunday service.
Andrew Smith, Yellow Buses’ managing director, said: “We’ve had an amazing response since first announcing in May that our famous open toppers will be back on the streets for the first time since 2007.
“We’re delighted that not only are we able to bring the open top experience to two of our routes but also, as we promised, the C1 will operate at a higher frequency during the peak summer period.”
