Stagecoach boosts Scunthorpe Sunday services

Stagecoach East Midlands is to launch new Sunday services in Scunthorpe.

The operator’s boost to services comes into effect from Sunday 5 May 2024. It is supported by grant funding from North Lincolnshire Council’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP). The changes are to five routes in the region.

“The changes will introduce extended operational days to provide better connections to local retail services” – Matt Cranwell, Managing Director of Stagecoach East Midlands

We’re grateful to North Lincolnshire Council, whose support has helped us to improve our Sunday services in response to the evolving needs of our passengers.”
