Travel safely with the Morebus night routes

Thanks to the new Morebus Night Routes (N1, N2 and N5), you can now travel across Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch seven nights a week — all through the night. 

N5 serves Talbot Campus, Winton and surrounding student areas — the most convenient route for many of our students 

N1 and N2 follow our daytime M1/M2 routes, connecting key areas across town 

Together, these routes fill the gap between late evening and early morning buses, meaning 24-hour service on our busiest corridors. 

Why the night bus is a smart choice 

1. Live bus tracking 

  • Use the Morebus app to see your bus in real time 
  • Aim to arrive at your stop 3–4 minutes early — buses can make up time along the route. 

2. Onboard and stop CCTV 

  • Every bus has onboard CCTV (stored for at least 14 days) 
  • Around 250 bus shelters across the BCP area also have CCTV monitored by police control at Madeira Road 
  • If you ever feel unsafe, wait in a CCTV-monitored shelter and call the police, giving the name of the stop (clearly displayed on the sign). 

3. Report non-urgent issues 

  • Text “BCP” + your message to 81018 to report any antisocial behaviour 
  • The BCP Council CSAS team (Community Safety Accreditation Scheme) will review and follow up the next day, using bus CCTV if needed. 

4. Trained, supportive drivers 

  • Drivers are trained to assist anyone who feels unsafe 
  • You can stay on the bus until it reaches a safe location — just tell your driver 
  • Drivers can discreetly alert control for help if necessary. 

Whether you’re heading home from late study sessions, work, or a night out, the night bus keeps you connected and safe — every night of the week.
