Stagecoach services 11 and 12 in North East Lincolnshire were revised on 1st June. Whilst there are some positives, overall it's a cutback. Previously service 11 operated hourly Monday to Saturday daytimes between Grimsby Riverhead Exchange and Waltham via the Grange Estate and Morrisons, whilst service 12 linked Bradley Park and Waltham via Grange Estate, Grimsby Riverhead Exchange, Cleethorpes and New Waltham Monday to Saturday hourly, primarily off peak only.
Service 11 remains operating between Riverhead Exchange and Waltham via the Grange Estate, but now serves Bradley Park instead of Morrisons. The service remains hourly, but the Monday to Saturday morning peak and Monday to Friday afternoon service has been cutback. From Waltham, rather than a departure every 60-70 minutes in the morning peak, there is now a gap between 0640 and 0855. Monday to Friday there is now a gap in departures from Grimsby between 1310 and 1715 and from Waltham between 1355 and 1745.
The section of service 12 between Bradley Park and Grimsby has been withdrawn, replaced by the revised service 11 in Bradley Park - which reinstates earlier and later journeys to Bradley Park but reduces the Monday to Saturday morning/early afternoon frequency between the Grange Estate and Grimsby Town Centre from half hourly combined to hourly. Service 11 and 12 are advertised as through/no change of bus required services at Grimsby Riverhead Exchange, maintaining same bus links to Cleethorpes. Otherwise service 12 is little changed. Monday to Friday the 1427 Grimsby to Waltham, retimed to 1430, now terminates short in New Waltham. There is now a later last departure from Waltham on Saturdays, at 1525, previously 1405.
