Jersey Revisited
The X15 soon had me transported from the airport to the bus station in St Helier. Where the buses offload their passengers, the lighting is similar to Security in Southampton Airport that I had passed through about 90 minutes ago. Inside the cavernous hall are a few inquiry desks and some seating in the same design as at the airport. All designed to let bus passengers know they are welcome to spend even less time here than back at the airport.

Wheels Up at Southampton—Wheels Down at Jersey
Southhampton Airport For anyone living in East Dorset, south Wiltshire, and southern Hampshire here in the UK, this is a very local airport with connections to the rest of the country and Europe. The airport is well connected to these surrounding areas by the nearby M27 and adjoining M3 and by the railway station with connections from Weymouth to Waterloo and other parts of the national rail network.
