This week (starting on Tuesday 6th May), 21 Transport have taken over the North Lincolnshire Council tendered service 260 between Barton and Immingham from Stagecoach, along with the interworked 254 Barton Town Schools Service. There is no change to the timetable, which operates Monday to Saturday daytimes.
The 260 was launched around 2003/2004 time and was initially operated by North Lincolnshire Council 'in house'. Stagecoach took over from 31st January 2011 until Saturday 3rd May 2025. Between 2017 and 2020 the Saturday service was run as a CallConnect timetabled service, operated by Hornsby Travel.
This is 21 Transport's second tendered public bus service in North Lincolnshire, joining service 60.

There's major bus changes on Grimsby next month, including to the Humber Flyer, which will be Hull to Louth, even on Sundays!
Going by what the Stagecoach website says they’re retiming the 51 and 250 to connect at Grimsby, my guess is it’ll be the same bus and driver (unless they change drivers at riverhead exchange for break purposes) so not a direct service from Louth to Hull as such but a connecting service. It’s an interesting proposition so fair play to SC for trying it, especially on Sundays. I can’t imagine there’ll be a huge market for end to end travel Beverley is probably a close comparison to Louth which most Hull folk will go to get their market town fix but it’s something new and I hope it works
Even if the Louth connection doesn't work out, I hope a Sunday 250 service works out long term.
