Reverse the cuts in timetables of the blackpool to Lancaster 42 bus service
The last bus to blackpool from Lancaster used to be late at night around 11pm and vice versa. Cuts to the 42 bus service now means the last bus to blackpool from Lancaster leaves Lancaster bis station at 5.40 pm . We the petition signers want this situation reversing and the original service times up to 10. 15 or 11.15 pm to be reinstated
Why is this important?
The Lancaster bus depot is the gateway to a lot of Lake district services through Cumbria namely the 555 to Keswick Ambleside and kendal. Quite a lot of people who like to ramble in the lakes in Cumbria who live in blackpool and Lancashire and use the service from early spring through to late autumn to connect through to Lancaster and the 555 via the 42 bus service and considering it takes over an hour to get to the lakes from Lancaster cutting the 42 service back stops people using this route and maximising their stay in the lakes. Even if they set off at 9.15 in thr morning they may not get to Cumbria until 12.30 or even 1.00pm which leaves approximately a two hour stay in Cumbria if that until having to return on the 555 for the amended return to blackpool at 5.40 pm
Other people rely on a good service to and from Lancaster from blackpool as well and vice versa either for city shipping or a day and evening out.
Other people from villages in between blackpool and Lancaster also use the service to shop in Garstang say for example or visit friends and this reduction of the service has had a detrimental effect with its outcomes
