Bus service boost thanks to £42 million funding

Bus services will be more frequent from September, due to increased funding.

Lancashire County Council says the extra journeys will stretch across the county covering Lancaster, Garstang, Poulton, Blackpool, Morecambe, Heysham, Halton, Blackpool and more.

Daytime services are also increasing in Chorley, South Ribble, West Lancashire and Wyre. while Sunday service improvements will be made between Lancaster and Morecambe, and evening journeys in Lancaster and the Lune Valley.

The improvements are possible thanks to the county’s share of £42m government funding.

Lancashire county councillor Rupert Swarbrick, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “One of our main aims is to encourage more people to use the bus by providing extra journeys at times that people find convenient.

“Enhanced daytime frequencies and later services are often helpful to people who use the bus to get to and from work, as well as being convenient for anyone going out for the evening or visiting friends and family.

“I’m also really pleased that we are working in partnership with our bus operators and neighbouring authorities to provide better links right across Lancashire.”
