FirstGroup say they will be scrapping all Greyhound routes from Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to London next month.
Insufficient passenger numbers is being given as reason for the decision to axe the service.
Marc Reddy, Regional Commercial & Business Growth Director for First Bus in the South West and Wales told the Daily Echo, “We’ll be ending our Greyhound UK services between London and the Solent on November 17.
“Unfortunately, these services are not seeing sufficient passenger numbers and therefore we’ve reached the difficult decision to withdraw the buses from the routes.
Shame they didn’t advertise with On The Wight, more publicity could have brought them more customers.
