etween Charmouth and Symondsbury and which are away from the interurbanbus corridor 14 .Service 1034.13.3 DoCC state that the 103 service is a ‘work in progress’ in terms of estab lishingpatterns of demand and how best the service can meet that demand. Furtherchanges to the service may take p lace now that DoCC have an integratedtransport unit. DoCC also state that they will shortly b e investigating thefeasibility of a Jurassic Coast service that will run between Weymouth andSwanage via destinations such as Lulworth and Kimmeridge. Such a servicewould operate from April to October and be aimed at visitors. The fact thatsuch a service is being investigated underlines the difficulties in successfullyserving visitors needs with the 103 service. If such a service is implemented, itwould enable service 103 to concentrate on the needs of local residents.4.13.4 One option to change service 103 would be to omit those settlements thatalready have access to other regular bus services. For example, Owermoigneand East Knighton are served by the X53, and already have access to facilitiesand rail links. This could allow more journeys on the 103 service to beavailab le to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.4.13.5 The alternative to the above two options would be to retain the 103 servicelargely as it is currently, but to make the service more accessible to visitors interms of the registration system, the pre-booking system, the legibility of theservice, and the way the service is marketed, by implementing the variouschanges outlined in previous sections of this chapter of the report andsummarised in the summary and recommendations section that concludes thischapter of the report.4.13.6 Chapter 3 highlighted the series of isolated camping and caravan sites thatare not well-served by public transport between Swanage and Corfe Castle. Ifthe potential Weymouth to Swanage service is implemented, in addition toserving the important visitor attraction of Kimmeridge, consideration could be14 It should be noted that there are no signif icant legislative barriers to setting up cross-boundary schemes. The WesternMarshwood Vale, may, for instanc e, be better suited to servic es which connect them to Axminster, along with settlements inDevon such as Hawkchurch.Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 79G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
given to how a new service could help meet the needs of visitors at theseaccommodation sites in reaching visitor destinations, and potentially p laceswhere interchange is possib le for onward travel ( e.g. Corfe Castle, andsubject to future interchange improvements, Norden Park and Ride).4.13.7 In addition to the accommodation sites between Swanage and Corfe Castle,the potential Weymouth to Swanage service could incorporate the settlementsbetween the Army Ranges and Corfe Castle (including Church Knowle, Creechand Kimmeridge). These destinations have one bus service per week (service275), which in practical terms is virtually useless for visitors, so a new servicewould greatly increase the public transport accessibility of these settlements.4.13.8 If the potential Weymouth to Swanage service does not come to fruition in thefuture, another option to consider would be to discontinue the one day aweek 275 service and effectively combine it with the 44 service that servesWorth Matravers and Harmans Cross.4.13.9 The type of public transport service to be introduced in east Purbeck shouldbe dependent on a robust analysis of current transport provision in the areaincluding passenger numbers, cost per passenger journey and total contractcost of existing financially supported services. This kind of analysis is beyondthe scope of this study. As has been discussed in previous sections of thischapter, DRT can be a good way of serving the transport needs of loca lresidents but may not be the best way of serving visitor needs. Planning offuture services should therefore consider all potential options. The optionsinclude the potential Weymouth to Swanage service, a DRT service that wouldcover the whole of east Purbeck, two separate DRT services in east Purbeckfor the two different user groups, a combination of DRT service andconventional bus service (perhaps running in peak season only for visitors),and one conventional bus service for the whole area.4.13.10 The success of increasing visitor numbers on pub lic transport services in thefuture would be enhanced by adopting policies that not only promote thepublic transport services in question, but that make the alternatives lessattractive. A review of the availability and supply of car parking, the cost ofcar parking, and how public transport services are promoted, should thereforetake place alongside the various measures outlined to make p ublic transportservices more visitor-friendly.Doc No 3 Rev: B Date: November 2008 80G:\Final Report Web version\CTR-ADA Study Report Rev9.4. doc
