Service Changes

Blackpool Transport has released timetables for their April changes. The network is summarised below and needs 102 buses + 7 for schools (or 3 for the 20 holidays/weekends). This compares with the winter network of 96+7 and last summers of 100+7.

New route 2 takes the traditional route, latterly served by the 10/17 between Blackpool and Poulton via Newton Drive, Victoria Hospital (old terminus) and Highcross Avenue. From Poulton, once per hour Monday to Saturday, it continues via Tithebarn Street, Poulton Road, Arundel Drive, Fleetwood Road, Fleetwood Road South, Four Lane Ends, Victoria Road East and West to terminate at Victoria Square. This is the first time BTS has regularly served Arundel Drive other than a few months when the 16 terminated at Castle Gardens during bridge work in Poulton in 2013.

All routes appear stand-alone except the 2C and 17 which interwork on Sundays.
