Burnley Bus Company and Lancashire County Council team up to introduce new late night buses for Burnley, Pendle and the Ribble Valley

The new journeys are to be launched by the bus firm from tonight (Monday) in partnership with Lancashire County Council – and journeys will cost just £1 after 7pm, leaving more to spend in the town’s bars, restaurants and cinema.

Revised timetables including the new evening journeys are now in place, with easy connections at Burnley Bus Station with the Witchway express from Manchester, plus local Mainline services.

The Burnley Bus Company’s General Manager, Frank Stanisauskis, said: “We’re delighted to introduce these new later evening buses, which will make it even easier to travel to and from our local cinema, restaurants and bars as well as to visit family and friends.

“Customers using our new evening buses will pay only £1 for a single trip anywhere within the county after 7pm, seven days a week.”
