As you may be aware, we were planning to run the U9 to a rush-hour, term-time (Taunton College) only service. However, in response to passenger feedback, the University of Southampton has made additional funding available to support buses during the vacations too.

Should you wish to travel during the daytime, other links still exist...

Between Portswood and Highfield Campus - see route U1
Between Portswood and General Hospital - see route U6
Between Townhill Park and Portswood - see First route 3, which runs every 10 minutes Mon-Sat daytime.
