Roadworks at B3157 Goose Hill, Portesham will mean that the X53 will divert via Winterbourne Abbas from 30 September until 8 November 2024. A special temporary route – the T53 – will be introduced to operate a shuttle service from Abbotsbury - Bridport only. This T53 service will be FREE to use.

The timetable of the X53 will change between Weymouth and Bridport to account for the diversion via Winterbourne Abbas. Route T53 will operate to connect with services to/from Weymouth, however some passengers may need to travel on the X51 to Bridport to make the connection in some instances.

The timetable between Bridport and Axminster remains unchanged. Further details can be found here: Wessex, Dorset & South Somerset | First Bus.
