Service Change: 1st September 2024

Starting Sunday 1st September, we're making some changes to our services based on your feedback and how our network is used. You'll find all the updated information below. 

The main improvements are for Service 1, Service 12, and Service 18, with better frequency and coverage. Plus, we've made some adjustments to Services 3 and 3A to improve reliability! We're doing this to ensure you get to your destination as quickly and comfortably as possible. 

For help planning your journey or finding alternatives, please reach out to us or use our Journey Planner to get you from A to B! 

Services that are not listed, are unaffected by the changes.

Here’s what’s new: 

Service 1 
Great news! Our Service 1 will now run every 30 minutes, daily, between Fleetwood Affinity Outlet and North Pier, making it easier than ever to get where you need to go. 

Service 1A 
Due to low demand and the upcoming changes to our Tram Service and Service 1, Service 1A will no longer run after September 1st. 

Service 3 & 3A 
We’ve made some changes to the timetables for Services 3 and 3A, with later last services. 

Service 3 - From 5:00pm, Service 3 will run hourly from Mereside Tesco until 9:00pm. After 6:00pm, Service 3 from Cleveleys will depart at 10 minutes past each hour, with the last bus at 9:10pm. 

Service 3A - Now has a later last departure, with the final bus from Cleveleys Park to Mereside Tesco leaving at 9:40pm. 

Service 12 & 12A 
We’re introducing Service 12, which will operate Monday to Saturday, from 7:00am to 5:30pm. This service will connect Blackpool and Poulton, via Whitegate Drive, Blackpool Victoria Hospital (Outpatients Entrance), and Bispham—offering a direct route for Bispham residents to Blackpool Vic. 

For school trips, we’re rebranding the usual Service 12 as the 12A, which will operate twice daily, including a stop at the Victoria Hospital Main Entrance. 

Service 18 
Service 18 is getting a fantastic upgrade! The route will now extend to Amy Johnson Way, providing a link to the Enterprise Zone, as well as providing a new link to Blackpool Victoria Hospital, providing direct access to the hospital for customers from the Marton Area. 

• Extension to the Enterprise Zone: From Highfield Road, the 18 will now travel via St Annes Road to serve Amy Johnson Way, giving workers in the area an easy commute option. 

• Extension to Victoria Hospital: From Mereside Tesco, the 18 will continue to the main entrance of Blackpool Victoria Hospital, via Preston New Road, and will now also serve The Harbour Hospital. 

As ever, if we can help with planning your journeys or for more information on the above changes, please do feel free to get in touch with our friendly team. 

Timetables for each of these services will be available to view online by Friday 16th August.
