Getting places by bus
Every pub, chippy and hotel on this site already tells you which bus gets you there. These are the places that are not businesses, and the ones people ask for by name.

What about Portland Bill?
The 11 says Portland Bill on the front of the bus, and the last stop on its route in the government's timetable is Southwell Road, which is over a mile short of the Bill. One of those two is wrong and the timetable cannot tell us which, so rather than send you on a long walk in the wind this site says nothing until somebody who has actually caught it can tell us. Check with the operator before you rely on it.
