MOREBUS is to open its Poole Bus Station travel shop from today, the bus operator has announced.

The shop has been closed throughout the Covid-19 pandemic but will re-open its doors with social distancing measures in place.

“We know not everybody has access our social media channels and website, and some like to visit us in person to get information and details of our services,” said Morebus head of communications, Nikki Honer.

“However, things will seem a little different for those who come to see us.

"To maintain social distancing, two customers may enter the shop at any one time - and we encourage people to visit us on their own if possible, to help reduce queuing times.

The travel shop will be open from Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 5pm with lunchtime closing between 12pm and 12.30pm.

With altered bus services in place, the bus service’s existing printed timetables are no longer current, so travel shop advisers will be standing by to assist with details of specific routes.

Nikki added: “For those making payments, we ask that you use a contactless debit or credit card, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay wherever possible.

“We will still accept cash, but change is limited - so please do try to have the correct money.”

“For those who do have online access, there are many things you can do without the need to visit us in person. Key card top-ups, Clickit2ride, live journey and departure times, timetable information and journey planning can all be accessed via our website.”
