RE: Lancashire County Council Service Changes
July's Changes:

Lancaster Services
Service L1 Lancaster Caton Road Park & Ride – City Centre – Royal Infirmary

From 6 July 2026 Lancashire County Council will revise the timetable, adjusting the frequency to operate up to every 30 minutes Monday to Saturday daytime. The times of the first and last buses will be unchanged and there will be no changes to the route.

The adjustment of the timetable follows the cessation of the agreement with the NHS to provide the second vehicle required to enhance service frequency.

The flat fares will also be revised as follows:

Adult Day Return – from £2.00 to £2.50

Child Day Return – from £1.00 to £1.25

Weekly Ticket – from £8.00 to £10.00

Group Day Ticket – from £5.00 to £6.50
Service 85 Lancaster – Morecambe – Carnforth

From 6 July 2026 Lonsdale Buses will revise the route and timetable, extending the service from Morecambe through to Lancaster, direct via Morecambe Road. In Carnforth, the service will be extended to additionally serve the Windermere Road Estate.

The timetable will be revised to operate every two hours Monday to Saturday daytime.
Preston, South Ribble and Chorley Services

Service 115 Preston – Longton – Croston – Leyland – Buckshaw – Chorley

From 29 June 2026 Lancashire County Council will revise the route in Moss Side to serve Dunkirk Lane instead of Slater Lane. This minor route adjustment will maintain bus service access to those bus stops on Dunkirk Lane following Stagecoach's recent route revision to their Service 111.
