South West Coaches will cut 13 services
Cabinet Member for Transport at Dorset County Council Cllr Peter Finney said: "I would like to thank Damory Coaches for their help in saving as many of the threatened services as possible without additional subsidy payment, and I hope that the revised service will be well supported.
"As well as maintaining as many bus services as possible we have also been able to extend some routes to cover more of the local community, which is great news."
