Leigh Park – Is fbb Chicken?<\/span><\/p>\n … and here are Southdown buses to Leigh Park …<\/p>\n … both arbitrary samples with no attempt to choose particular dates.<\/p><\/div>\n The RED<\/span> route is numbered 39.<\/p><\/div>\n … and here the new version from Stagecoach.<\/p>\n Spot the difference!! The route runs from a nice little turning circle at Tipner …<\/p>\n … to the Tesco Extra near Fratton Park footy stadium.<\/p>\n It is the only bus service that ventures to the front door of the store on Fratton Way …<\/p>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n … with links to North End Lidl and Iceland and other shops. It also provides a bus service for Chichester Road …<\/p>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n Chichester Road is just one small part of a huge area of older terraced housing at Copnor …<\/p>\n … with no indication that buses continue past Portsmouth College – or is it Baffins?<\/p>\n Stagecoach lumps the 13 and 14 together but with too few point times to assist users.<\/p><\/div>\n But now you can clearly see that each service is actually almost a true circular …<\/p>\n … with only a tiny bit (Arundel Road) as a very small handle to a large lollipop. Whilst First used to run all the way to The Hard interchange, First and the new Stagecoach 13 and 14 only run to the city centre. Pity First’s map is wrong!<\/p>\n First doesn’t help you if you wanted to get from Locksway Road to Copnor Bridge! It implies incorrectly that you have to change from a 13 to a 14 at beautiful Baffins.<\/p><\/div>\n It Stagecoach is running the 13 and 14 as circulars, then we need 13s and 14s all the way round supplemented by directional arrows.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n … tunning every 30 minutes Monday to Friday and hourly Saturday and Sunday. Then First win a short term tender until now.<\/p><\/div>\n Currently, Paulsgrove is well served by buses with the 2 and the 3 being the “main line” routes running every 10 mins (2) <\/span>and every 12 mins (3)<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Note, in passing, that First’s map uses the traditional “Hillsley Road” as the terminus name of the 18, which is what the buses show …<\/p>\n
