Service 44 - Eastleigh to Chandler’s Ford & Hiltingbury Circular

In July 2023 a new mini-bus service was launched, operating between Eastleigh and Chandler’s Ford, also serving communities in Hiltingbury, Fryern and Velmore. The number 44 mini-bus service replaces the Xelabus X6/X7 routes.

The service, run by Community First, will offer nine daily Monday to Friday roundtrips to Chandler’s Ford, Hiltingbury, Fryern and Eastleigh. It will also run a morning and afternoon peak-time service (Monday to Friday) linking to Velmore when the Bluestar 23 is not operating.
Adult fares cost between £2.50 and £5 child fares between £1 and £3.50.

The service will run for one year to review passenger usage, with an option to extend the contract.

Funding for this service has been provided by Hampshire County Council in partnership with Chandlers Ford Parish Council, who received a grant from Eastleigh Borough Council.

Bicycle parking at bus stops
We have installed cycle parking at bus stops along the Bluestar 1 route between Chandlers Ford and Otterbourne, and at bus stops along the Bluestar 2 route between Fair Oak, Bishopstoke, Eastleigh and towards Southampton so that you can cycle and easily park your bike at your local bus stop.
