A new bus service is now connecting key "underserved" locations within Southampton.
Bluestar representatives, MPs and councillors launched the new 19a service with an event yesterday, with the route now operating seven days a week.
The 19a links Winchester Road, Hill Lane, Southampton General Hospital, and the city centre.
The service provides cross-city links to King Edward School and Richard Taunton Sixth Form College.

MP for Southampton Test, Satvir Kaur, said: "From speaking to individuals and families on the doorstep, I know that a bus service that's not accessible or close to where you live can be challenging, especially for older people and young families.
"It's fantastic to see this service now up and running."
Southampton Itchen MP, Darren Paffey, said: "This new service will be welcomed by my constituents along Hill Lane and nearby roads that have been underserved by local bus services."
