This is the updated list. From Lancashire County Council:

Quote:Changes to bus services from 3 April 2016
As part of £65m savings the county council has identified in its budget for this year, we have had to make changes to how we fund bus routes. This is one of many difficult decisions we have had to make, and we still have to find more than £200m additional savings over the next five years.

This will mean changes to some bus services from 3 April. However, 60% out of the 113 bus services in Lancashire that we currently subsidise will still run in some form or other - though there may be changes to the routes and times of these services. We have reallocated £2m and have worked with bus operators to enable this to happen. Our priority is to support services that help you get to work and education.

Those bus services we will no longer be supporting will either be run by the bus operators on a commercial basis or will stop running after 2 April.

Services that will change
We're sorry we don't know the full details of the new services yet as we are having to make changes very quickly, but please bear with us and as soon as we do we'll let you know. We're working hard to get all the bus services changes onto this website as quickly as possible, and it may be nearer to the start of the changed services that the new timetables will appear.

In the meantime, here is a list of the bus services that will be affected and the details that we have so far. We will be updating timetables as soon as we can.
