Bus passengers in dozens of Nottinghamshire villages will be able to book their journeys 'on demand' as part of a new scheme which scraps timetabled routes. The scheme is being trialled in villages around Ollerton, Retford and Newark, alongside an evening service which will cover Mansfield.
'Nottsbus On Demand' will not follow a fixed route or timetable, with buses instead travelling anywhere within three operating zones where there is not already a scheduled service running. The three operating zones comprise North Ollerton, covering villages such as Treswell, East Drayton and Headon, South Ollerton, covering areas such as Laxton, Caunton and Kelham, and finally Mansfield, covering the Ladybrook, Berry Hill and Oak Tree areas.
The buses in the North and South Ollerton zones will run from Monday to Saturday between 7am and 7pm, excluding bank holidays. The evening service in Mansfield will run every Thursday, Friday and Saturday between 7.30pm and midnight.
