Hampshire bus firm First have updated their list of services after this morning’s network was disrupted by continuing snow and ice.

To combat the effects of the adverse weather bosses are bringing in extra staff to check which services are running early in the morning and have opened their customer service line earlier to deal with queries.

Contact First customer services on 0870 010 6022 The company is also advising passengers to expect delays on many routes and to wrap up warm while waiting for a bus.

General Passenger Advice wrap up warm - bus services may be unavoidably delayed due to the snowy / icy conditions If in doubt, walk to the nearest main road (ie a road that has been gritted); services may be diverted along the clearer main roads if icy conditions prevent buses travelling along smaller roads. For the details of specific service disruptions and diversions check the website.

We expect journey times to be longer than usual, our drivers and controllers are committed to providing the best service possible given the adverse weather conditions expected.
