North Lincolnshire on-demand bus service launched

An on-demand bus service has been launched in North Lincolnshire.

Connect2, which replaces the previous JustGo service, will provide journeys across the region which are pre-booked by users.

Julie Reed, a cabinet member at North Lincolnshire Council, which has provided funding for the project, said it would help tackle the "limited service" rural communities faced due to low passenger numbers.

The service will operate Monday to Friday from 07:00 to 19:00, and on Saturdays between 08:00 and 18:00.

The new service includes a mobile app for bookings as well as a call centre.
