Bus on a boat!
Published August 17, 2025

When the sun comes out, lots of people migrate towards the coast. The beaches are crammed with families swimming and building sandcastles, and the coastlines are full of tourists enjoying the weather and the views. Recently, I was one of those people!
However, so many humans travelling in the same direction makes traffic a bit of a bore, and therefore makes public transport more enticing. I’m not a big fan of buses, (more a fan of trains) but then I found myself on a bus… that goes on a boat!

This blew my mind a little bit. This open top bus travels on the chain link ferry between Studland and Sandbanks in Swanage/Poole, and it’s just a regular bus, not a tourist attraction at all. It’s so cool! Bus on a boat!
But of course, really, it’s the coast that wins the day.
