SIX months after South West Trains axed the Bordon to Liphook rail-link bus, East Hampshire District Council has used developers' contributions to launch a rail-link service that will cover Whitehill-Bordon, Lindford, Passfield and Liphook railway station.

The new number 12 rail-link bus service comes in the form of an AMK 16-seater minibus and started to run on Monday.
