Eleven Nottinghamshire bus services at risk of being withdrawn have been saved
. Nottinghamshire County Council has stepped in to save the services which operators have decided are no longer profitable.
The County Council said its financial support for these services as part of its Bus Network Review is being agreed with the commercial operators and for the time being. It says passengers won't see any difference in route or timetables, although "the services may be subject to redesign and review over the next 12 months".The services saved from the axe are:• Marshalls 90 - Newark, Radcliffe, Nottingham .• Stagecoach 14/15 - Mansfield, Ollerton, Walesby .
“The last few years have taken their toll on bus services nationally, including here in Nottinghamshire. Passenger numbers in rural areas are at around 60% of the levels we saw before the Covid-19 pandemic and at around 80% in more urban areas. We are therefore committed to working with local operators to reinvigorate bus services like these, which play a vital role in keeping communities connected.
