Slightly Quicker to Lincoln - but not all good news

As part of Stagecoach's service changes in North East Lincolnshire on 1st June, most journeys on Monday to Saturday service 53 between Grimsby and Lincoln were re-routed within Grimsby to provide a more direct routing. Previously, with the exception of the first morning morning departure, all service 53 journeys arrived into and departed Grimsby Town Centre via Hainton Avenue and Weelsby Road to Fryston Corner (Grimsby Institute). Now, with the exception of one journey each way on schooldays, all services operate from Grimsby Town Centre to Fryston Corner via Bargate.

The positive side to this is reduced journey times. Previously off-peak Laceby Market Place to Grimsby Riverhead Exchange was timed for 25 minutes, now Laceby Caistor Road to Grimsby Riverhead Exchange is timed for 17 minutes off peak.

On the other hand, the section of Weelsby Road between Hainton Avenue and Fryston Corner is now only served by buses on schooldays. Hainton Avenue retains an hourly Monday to Saturday off-peak service with route 7.
