Salisbury's Beehive Park and Ride to reopen next week
The site's been closed since early in the pandemic
Last updated 18th May 2022
Salisbury's Park and Ride buses will start to serve the Beehive site once again from Monday 23rd May.
The site, which is owned by Wiltshire Council, has been closed to the public since Spring 2020, when it became a regional Covid-19 testing centre.
Now that's no longer required, the Beehive will reopen to people parking their vehicles and getting a bus into the city centre.
The reopening will also mean the PR11 bus route to Old Sarum will include extra stops - to drop off and pick up passengers from the Beehive.
Salisbury Reds will continue to run the service, every 30 minutes, between 6.19am and 11.25pm Monday to Satruday, with an adult return ticket costing £3.
Cllr Dr Mark McClelland, Cabinet Member for Transport at Wiltshire Council said:
“Reopening the Beehive Park and Ride is another step back to normal for the city of Salisbury.
“In addition to the savings that can be made by using the Park and Ride, it is also quick and easy to use and will help to improve air quality in the city centre."
A Salisbury Reds spokesperson said they're 'pleased' to see the service up and running again and that the frequency of buses is under constant review:
"The 30 minute frequency is part of the temporary timetable aimed at improving reliability. The operations team is monitoring the situation, with a view to returning to a more frequent service as soon as is it is possible to do so."
