Quote from Steven Knight Media Blog: "Information is emerging, unconfirmed by Stagecoach, that suggests the Long Sutton outstation along with the 505 service linking Spalding and King's Lynn as well as some services in the Wisbech area will be retained by Stagecoach and consolidated as an outstation to its Peterborough operation."
