Stagecoach South

Stagecoach (South) Limited, trading as Stagecoach South, is a bus operator providing services in South East England as a subsidiary of Stagecoach. It operates services in Hampshire, Surrey, and Sussex with some routes extending into Brighton, Wiltshire and Berkshire. It operates 487 buses from eight depots.

It is branded as four sub-divisions: Stagecoach in Hampshire, Stagecoach in Hants & Surrey, Stagecoach in the South Downs, and Stagecoach in Portsmouth.

A common feature of this division was the large number of branded routes, usually with dedicated names in lieu of numbers. These were largely reverted to numbers in the 2020s.

Stagecoach in Hampshire, formerly known as Hampshire Bus, operates from depots in Andover, Basingstoke and Winchester. It was the first former National Bus Company subsidiary to be purchased by Stagecoach in 1987, the Hampshire Bus name continuing until the early 2000s.

In 2015, Stagecoach unveiled £2.5 million investment in new Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC buses for Winchester park and ride services, featuring a gold and purple livery, inspired by King Alfred the Great.

In 2017, Stagecoach launched six new Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMC buses for the route 64 to Alton, which also received extra journeys in evenings and Sundays, the unveiling taking place at the Winchester Science Centre.

In December 2019, 32 new Enviro200 MMCs were introduced to Basingstoke, representing a £5.3 million investment.

Stagecoach in Hants & Surrey operates from depots in Aldershot and in Peasmarsh, just outside of Guildford. Since 2022 it has also operated from the former Arriva depot in Guildford. It is made up of Alder Valley's remaining operations, taken over by Stagecoach on 26 October 1992. The company operates a number of routes across Hampshire and Surrey, serving Aldershot, Camberley, Farnborough, Godalming, and Guildford.
