A new bus stop has opened linking a railway station with a town centre and residential areas.
Bus Service Improvement Plan funding, made available by Lincolnshire County Council, has enabled money to be spent on a new bus stop and a much more frequent service by Essendine-based company Bland’s.
The enhanced 182 Stamford Town Service launched this week with a new stop at the Cattlemarket Car Park, which helps to serve passengers coming and going from Stamford Railway Station.
The 182 service now runs hourly, six days a week and will also serve new areas of town, including Ross Drive and Collins Avenue. The bus station, hospital, Morrisons and St Mary’s Medical Centre are also stops.
The cost of off-peak travel (9am to 2.30pm) on the service is £2 for a single, £3.40 for a return.
