Is it Yellow Buses or Wilts & Dorset buses? Unfortunately, I'm new to Bournemouth so I don't know any place to suggest but Wimborne seems a little too far to rely on public transport in the evening (after living here for 3 months, the one thing I have learnt as a bus user is "don't rely on the bus turning up when it should in the evening").
