I think it is still a requirement, e.g. Tim W. arrives by bus.
CAMRA's site does offer a ‘near bus routes’ filter IIRC.

September isn't far away, perhaps only two months until subs are due if
it's the start of the month, so I'd have thought the time to begin the
search is upon us.

Not so many pubs around Wimborne these days. :(
I thought one of the criteria for the location was bus availability. Is this 
not so much of a problem these days?

Many years ago, we used to go to Pubs around Wimbone:-)

I think the BEC probably suits most people at the moment.

Perhaps we should do this exercise before we rejoin in September?

That link played havoc with my Android phone.  First it refused to let me 
proceed unless I allowed notifications.  When I backed out of the page I got 
dire warnings about my phone being infected with a virus and inviting me to 
click on a link to clean it up (clean up my bank account was probably more 
likely).

Anyway, I didn't and my phone's virus scanner confirmed that there was nothing 
untoward.

So others who may be reading this list on a non-Linux machine; be warned!

And Yes.  There certainly do seem to be benches there, so I think we should be 
able to avoid the screaming hordes if need be

That's interesting.  The aerial photos from the council, and Google's
Streetview, don't show that construction in the car park, but do show
some outside seating.  I've attached a small image that hopefully make
it through the mailing list's software.

Hi Terry,

Agreed.

CAMRA's https://whatpub.com allows filtering of location-based results
by lots of criteria, including ‘quiet’, that I presume means no music or
TV audio.  Someone with time and local knowledge could come up with
contenders for future consideration.  An example, it doesn't have to be
Winton.
