I'm about half an hour walk to the Uni so buses aren't a problem for me, I can walk it, but looking at the bus timetables, the last U1 back to Bournemouth is at 22.10 (half an hour service until then) and the last U2 back to Poole is also at 22.10 so probably too early? http://www.thebusforbu.co.uk/pdf/u1tt_vacation.pdf http://www.thebusforbu.co.uk/pdf/u2tt.pdf
There is also an hourly service from (yellow bus) No 6, with the last one at 22.48 http://www.bybus.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/r62.pdf There are more options than Wimborne as there are buses from 2 companies, but to answer the question originally asked by Ralph, no, there aren't "frequent busses late into the evening". In terms of timings, the best evening buses in the area are No 3 and No 5 (both yellow buses), which both run every 15 minutes (until midnight for No 3 and 11.30 for No 5 - but note that the No 5 splits into 2 routes, 5a and 5b, so stops after Winton are served less frequently). Incidentally, The Broadway pub we met in last time is on the No 3 route, hence it being a great location for public transport users.
