161 passes to Stagecoach

From next Thursday, 9th November, Brigg market day service 161 will pass from Dents Coaches to Stagecoach. The 161 runs a very convoluted route from Market Rasen via Caistor, North Kelsey and Bishop Norton to Brigg and Lakeside Retail Park on the edge of Scunthorpe, covering what in the past 2 or 3 separate services used to provide. Traveline East Midlands shows the service continues to depart Market Rasen at 0930, arriving in Brigg at 1105, but will now reach Lakeside at 1130 rather than 1150. The return journey will operate half an hour earlier, departing Lakeside at 1300 rather than 1330, and Brigg at 1315 rather than 1345.
