Devizes Passengers is urging people to use a new shoppers’ service between Devizes and Salisbury.

The A360 will be run commercially by Hatts Coaches and stops at Potterne, West Lavington, Tilshead and Shrewton.

It leaves Devizes Market Place at 9.25am, arriving in Salisbury just after 10am, and returns from Salisbury at 1.50pm, arriving in Devizes at 2.40pm, Monday to Friday.

Jasper Selwyn, chairman of Devizes Passengers, said: “If the service is successful it could expand to an hourly frequency serving the new Stonehenge Visitor centre when it opens at the end of this year. This would make it easy for tourists to come from Stonehenge to Devizes, visit the Wiltshire Museum and then continue to Avebury on the number 49 bus.

“So far there has not been much publicity for the service but it could be promoted with special through fares and joint admission tickets. I hope lots of people will make use of the present service.”
