Stagecoach Grimsby routes 1/20 gain Saturday service

Since yesterday, Saturday 31st May, Stagecoach operated services 1 and 20 in Grimsby have gained a Saturday service; these routes previously operated on weekdays only.

Service 1 now operates between Grimsby Town Centre and Europarc hourly during Saturday daytimes. Unlike weekday service 1, Saturday services will not extend beyond Europarc to Wybers Wood, which seems odd as there is 24 minutes layover time in the new Saturday timetable at Europarc. The weekday morning journeys on service 20 from Cleethorpes and Grimsby to Europarc and Wybers Wood now also operate on Saturdays; these comprise the 0510 and 0650 from Cleethorpes and 0608 from Wybers Wood.

Services 1 and 20 are operated by Stagecoach on behalf of North East Lincolnshire Council. While one of the main aims is to serve the Europarc industrial estate, service 1 also serves residential areas in the West Marsh area of Grimsby.

If it doesn't go past Europarc it would have made more sense to run it along the 2 route to Riby Square part of the town centre. Or run it with the extra Saturday 12 buses.

The Grimsby Telegraph are reporting that a DfT consultation has started for ending train services west of Doncaster from Grimsby and Scinthorpe.

It is links west of Sheffield that are under threat, and the remaining service could potentially be a lot slower. There will be a blog post about this soon but for now I am writing up my consultation response. Hopefully as many people as are able to will also be responding to the consultation
