A bus service to Marwell Zoo has been axed as the funding has been pulled.

The Bluestar Z00 service to Marwell has been cut, with the bus company announcing that funding has been withdrawn for the service.

This means that the service, which ran from Eastleigh train station, has now ended.

Last year, the Z00 shuttle ran from Friday, March 29, at weekends and during school or bank holidays until the end of Summer.

A spokesperson for Bluestar said: "We are disappointed to announce that funding has been withdrawn, so we will no longer be running the Bluestar Z00 service to Marwell.

"There will be no further service on this route.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused."

The service was originally started in 2023.
