Changes to bus timetables in North East Lincolnshire will come into effect this month. As part of the £4.7m Bus Service Improvement Plan funded by the Department for Transport, the amendments to timetables are being introduced in a bid to improve accessibility in the borough and provide more direct bus links. The changes also aim to make bus travel a "more attractive" mode of transport for residents as well as providing better access to local schools and colleges.
