Background:

There will soon be five park and ride sites operational on the key entrance routes to the city at Old Sarum, London Road, Wilton and Downton Road. A fifth site is under construction at Petersfinger on the Southampton Road.

The city’s main public transport provider is Wilts and Dorset which runs services throughout the district. The city’s main bus station is located between Rollestone Street and Endless Street.

Vision Objective:

Give public transport users priority by improving public transport facilities and expanding services

  • Complete and implement the Petersfinger Park and Ride
  • Wherever possible introduce bus priority measures on all Park and Ride routes into the city centre
  • Consider extending the Park and Ride service to Churchfields
  • Improve the rail station as a public transport interchange
  • Provide a west to east public transport link from Churchfields stopping at key destinations within the city centre to Southampton Road. This includes a bus/pedestrian and cycle-only connection from Exeter Street through to Southampton Road
