MAJOR changes to bus services through Overton and Whitchurch are set to come into effect on Sunday.

The number 76 which runs from Basingstoke to Andover will run every half-an-hour off peak during the week, using a different route in Whitchurch via Lynch Hill Park.

The official start point for this service in Basingstoke will become the railway station.

The number 86 from Overton to Winchester will run a reduced service.

Basingstoke Community Transport will now operate the number 74 village service to the existing timetable, without subsidy from Hampshire County Council.
