People in Burnley, Pendle and Ribble Valley are being advised of some revisions to Lancashire County Council's supported bus services following a change in the companies which provide the services as well as ticketing arrangements.
This means that some areas will see more frequent services, while others will see services combined, with slight adjustments to routes and timetables.

It has also increased what’s on offer according to demand after identifying priorities for sustainable and attractive public transport service for the future.
The changes will start from April 16th, and will see operators Vision Bus, Pilkington Bus and Preston Bus taking over council supported bus services, previously run by Transdev.
There will be some routes and timetable revisions to improve reliability and respond to customers’ feedback. The revised routes include the following:
Service 60/60A (was 6) Burnley – Nelson – Colne
Service 62 (was 15) Burnley – Rose Hill
Service 63 (was 14) Burnley – Clifton Farm
Service 64 Burnley – Padiham – Clitheroe
Service 65 Burnley – Padiham – Nelson
Service 66/67 Nelson – Barley – Clitheroe
Service 69 Nelson – Brierfield – Hospital

New timetable leaflets will soon be available from the usual outlets. However, for more information on the changes, go to www.lancashire.gov.uk and search for ‘Bus Services.’ For full details of all upcoming changes to bus services in April, visit Bus service changes - Lancashire County Council.
