Service 260 Afternoon Reduction

On Monday 28th October, Stagecoach revised service 260 between Barton, Barrow, Goxhill and Immingham to improve punctuality. With increased running times and an apparent desire to avoid the need for a second driver by extending the operating day, it meant the mid-afternoon School Holiday and Saturday only 'short' between Barton and Goxhill at 1455 and return at 1521 no longer operates. Whilst there remains a long enough gap in the timetable to reliably operate a shorter Barton to Barrow 'short' instead, it would largely duplicate the 250.

"Revised registration to cancel tendered service." quite suprising. Does make me wonder what is going on since they got rid of the 60 contract as well

I presume with the 60, 21 Transport offered a cheaper bid? Would be surprising if Stagecoach wanted to offload, they seem to be really keen on tenders over the past few years
