Public transport from Hamble Point to Gosport

[wizard]

Anybody living local to that area can give me heads up on the above. The boat has to go there to be lifted out for some work to be done later this week and SWIMBO is elsewhere on the day. So it's that journey this week and ten days later from Gosport to Hamble tp bring boat back again.

TIA

I'll have a think about buses and get back to you. The route I know runs from the main square in Hamble to Southampton. Just need to work out how best to connect with a bus going to Gossie.

You can get the train from Hamble to Portsmouth Harbour, then take the ferry to Gosport. It is one heck of a hike from Hamble Point to the station though, with no public transport option apart from a taxi. (Perhaps a local forumite could give you a lift).

If you are going on Thursday I might be able to give you a lift from Hamble Point up to the train station. PM me if that is at all useful

Don't necessarily have to go back to Southampton. You can take the train from Hamble heading east and change at Fareham.

Buses looks like the number 6 from Hamble Square heading back towards Southampton, but not all the way. Get off before the Itchen Bridge and change onto a number X5 going to Gossie.

Buses are run by First Group and the timetables are on their website: http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/hampshire/

http://www.travelinesoutheast.org.uk/ looks a bit clunky, but it generally comes up with the goods in my experience.

Dinghy and bicycle. Row bike across to Warsash. Leave dinghy on HM pontoon. Cycle through Hook Park, Meon, Lee, Gosport.

Thanks, that looks doable it's only a mile or so to Hamble Square and relatively direct. I am sure the bus driver will give me the relevant info.

Normally I would do that but I have not had much chance to get on the bike this year so I will take the bus and enjoy the view!

Thanks all for the helpful replies and info, problem now sorted with a relaxing bus ride.

Just researched the buses for timetables and found the 26 goes all the way to Fareham and there I can get the E1 to where I am.

Thought I would post the info in case it helps anybody else going in that direction.

Good idea Ken - until I found out the ferry is painted PINK

Thanks for the offer Mark, but it's Thursday and I am now looking forward to the bus trip.

... and what is wrong with a pink ferry?

Ken's solution is probably the best so far.

That is the way I am going to go, but don't tell Ken or he will think he is smart.

Good thinking. It'll go to his head.
