Hampshire's bus passenger charter
This charter sets out what you can expect when using a bus service in Hampshire, and who to contact when these expectations are not met. It is intended as a minimum standard for bus services. Individual bus operators may have their own customer service charters that go above and beyond these minimum standards.
Changes to bus services
We are sorry to confirm Services 9, 12, 13, 15 and 17 in Andover operated by Stagecoach will all cease after a last day of operation on Thursday 17 April. Hampshire County Council Developer Contribution funding to provide these services has now come to an end. Residents are instead invited to try the new Northern Test Valley ‘Connect Transport on Demand’ which is a pre-bookable, limited-stopping local minibus service. The service runs Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm between bus stops across Northern Test Valley and three Andover town centre destinations: the train station, bus station and Andover War Memorial Hospital.
The Connect Transport on Demand service is being funded by Hampshire County Council as a pilot project for a two-year period using grants awarded by the Department for Transport, including Bus Service Improvement Plan funding.
For more information about the service and how to book, visit Connect Transport on Demand.
The buses are operated by Community First. For any service-related queries, email [email protected] or call 0333 015 1271*. Phone lines are open 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.

Government Grants for Public Transport Services in Hampshire
Bus Services Operating Grant (BSOG)
Following the Government’s decision in 2013 to devolve to Local Authorities the Bus Services Operators Grant (BSOG), Local Authorities are obliged, as a condition of this grant, to publicise how they have made use of this funding.
2019/20
In the year 2019/20, Hampshire County Council’s BSOG payment of £1.068m was incorporated into the revenue budget for supported bus services and divided between these services proportionally.
This confirmation is usually made to the Department for Transport via a short survey. Due to the impact of COVID-19, the Department for Transport have made the decision not to undertake this survey this year.
2020/21
In the year 2020/21, Hampshire County Council’s BSOG payment of £1.068m was incorporated into the revenue budget for supported services and divided between these services proportionately.
Local authorities are required to report on how they have made use of the devolved funds and any decision making processes that followed. This is done by completing and submitting a short survey to the Department for Transport. This information will be published here on the County Council’s website.
2021/22 & 2022/23
For each financial year of 2021/22 & 2022/2023, Hampshire County Council’s annual BSOG payment of £1.068m was incorporated into the revenue budget for supported services and divided between these services proportionately.
2023/24
In the year 2023/24, Hampshire County Council’s BSOG payment of £1.068m was incorporated into the revenue budget for supported services and divided between these services proportionately.
Local authorities are required to report on how they have made use of the devolved funds and any decision making processes that followed. This is done by completing and submitting a short survey to the Department for Transport. The survey for 2023/24 was submitted to the DfT on 10th September 2024 and will be published here on the County Council’s website in due course.
COVID-19 Bus Services Support Grant (CBSSG)
The CBSSG grant was provided by the Department for Transport to local transport authorities for 12 weeks from 17 March 2020.
Hampshire County Council received £509,423 to help support tendered bus services. This was used to reimburse operators for some of their lost revenue during this period.
The Local Transport Authority COVID-19 Bus Service Support Grant (CBSSG) restart scheme
This scheme provided follow-on funding of £2,815,764 for the period between 9 June 2020 to 31 August 2021. This was similarly used to cover some of the shortfall in bus operators’ fares income during this period, additional cleaning and PPE, and to support community transport.
The COVID-19 grants to the County Council are used in accordance with conditions as set out by the Department for Transport and are subject to audit.
See the full breakdown of how CBSSG and CBSSG restart funding was used.
