COACH operator National Express has appointed a new ticket agent in Ringwood.

Ringwood people can already book tickets at Bath Travel, but because of the popularity of the company's services it was decided to appoint an additional agent Lunns, at 13-15 Christchurch Road.

Gil Silsbury, regional sales manager for National Express, said: "We are delighted to welcome Lunns of Ringwood as our new ticket agent in the town, enabling us to deal with increasing demand for our services in the area."
