Vital late night bus services in Preston have been saved by Lancashire County Council but changes across the timetable are still going ahead.
Recently, Preston Bus advised the council that they had to review many of their commercial services due to significant increases to costs, resources and lower passenger numbers. They took the decision to withdraw a number of later evening journeys. The withdrawal of late night services particulary affected the Preston, Brookfield and Red Scar route, which found itself without any late night buses under the new timetable.
'The other Preston Bus routes that were reduced are still running hourly and by providing these two Service 6 journeys, the same level of provision will continue to be provided and will enable local residents to continue to access the city centre and return home in the evenings.' Service 23 Preston – Fulwood – Royal Preston Hospital – Asda -The 2210 & 2310 Monday to Saturday journeys from Preston will be withdrawn, with alternative journeys from Preston available at 2140 & 2240.
