Small changes can make a big difference

Back on Monday 2nd September, Hornsby tweaked their services between Brigg and Kirton in Lindsey.

On Monday to Friday service 94 between Brigg, Scawby, Hibaldstow, Redbourne and Kirton in Lindsey, all journeys now serve The Nookings in Hibaldstow as opposed to just some; this means the last departure from Brigg to The Nookings is now at 1540 rather than 1342. In addition the 1540 is extended beyond Redbourne to Kirton in Lindsey, with the previous 1615 return from Redbourne to Brigg now operating as a full route 1602 Kirton to Brigg; the previous last Brigg to Kirton was at 1342, and from Kirton to Brigg at 1404.

Between Brigg and Kirton the service has been enhanced on schooldays by a previous closed door schools service H1 (and H2?) becoming public buses 94a and 94b. Both routes start in Bottesford and operate via Messingham and Scotter to Kirton, then direct via Redbourne and Hibaldstow to Brigg; the 94a serves The Vale Academy and the 94b Sir John Nelthorpe School, with both routes terminating at the town centre Cary Lane terminus. With the first Cary Lane arrival on the 94 at 1029, the 94a offers a much earlier 0839 arrival; in the afternoon the 94a at 1455 fits in nicely between the 1340 and 1540 94's.
