BUS SERVICE CHANGES FOR AUGUST 2023:

LANCASTER SERVICES

Service 88 Lancaster – Cockerham – Garstang – Pilling – Knott End LCC Leaflet 7

Service 89 Lancaster – Cockerham – Pilling – Knott End

From 27 August 2023, utilising funding from HM Government through the Bus Service Improvement Plan and the Local Transport Fund, Lancashire County Council will revise the route and timetable to introduce additional new public transport links in South Lancaster and Over Wyre.

New Service 88 will be introduced between Lancaster and Knott End via Garstang, to operate in conjunction with existing Service 89 between Lancaster and Knott End, enhancing the overall service frequency across much of the route. The services will operate between Lancaster and Knott End via Glasson Dock, Cockerham, Garstang (88), Nateby (88), Pilling and Preesall.

The combined Monday to Saturday service frequency will operate approximately hourly across the end-to-end route, with the unique sections approximately two-hourly. A new Sunday & Bank Holiday two hourly daytime service will also be introduced.

Certain new Service 88 journeys will additionally serve Garstang Academy on schooldays, replacing School Service 813 and partially replacing School Service 509 to improve sustainability by incorporating those duplicated sections of route.

Kirkby Lonsdale Coaches will continue to operate these services on behalf of Lancashire County Council.
