Red Funnel is proud to announce a new partnership with Bluestar to extend its free bus connection service into Southampton City Centre, including direct access to Southampton Central Railway Station.
This enhancement builds on the existing Quayconnect bus service, which currently operates from morning to early evening.
Extended service will continue into the evening hours
Starting immediately, the extended service will continue into the evening hours via Bluestar’s Route 19 bus, with the nearest pick up and drop off point to Red Funnel being Town Quay Road, opposite the Platform Tavern.
Customers can obtain free travel upon showing their valid, dated Red Funnel foot passenger ticket. Both Red Jet and vehicle ferry foot passenger tickets apply, as well as rail tickets inclusive of ferry travel.
Chapman: Making travel easier and more accessible
Neil Chapman, Director of Operations at Red Funnel, commented,
“Thanks to feedback from our customers, we are proud to launch this extended service.
“It’s another step in making travel easier and more accessible for everyone using Red Funnel.”
Tyldsley: Delighted to partner with Red Funnel on this initiative
Richard Tyldsley, General Manager at Bluestar, added,
“We’re delighted to partner with Red Funnel on this initiative.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity to support local connectivity and offer even more value to passengers.”
As with the Quayconnect service, the free travel offer aboard the Bluestar 19 applies in both directions, including passengers heading to Red Funnel terminals with a valid ticket.
