Stagecoach East Midlands announces enhancements to bus service between Lincoln, Horncastle and Skegness

From the upcoming timetable revision, some journey times will be adjusted to improve punctuality and ensure a more consistent and dependable service for customers travelling along the route.

In addition, new early morning journeys are being introduced to provide greater flexibility, particularly for leisure travellers and day trippers. The additional services will operate from Lincoln to Skegness at 0830 Monday to Friday and 0815 on Saturdays. And from Skegness to Lincoln at 0745 Monday to Friday and 0740 on Saturdays.

These new journeys offer convenient morning travel options, enabling customers to make the most of a full day at the coast or in the city.

With single fares available for just £3 per journey, Service 56 continues to offer an affordable travel option. For families and groups travelling together, the East Midlands Group Day Out ticket is available for £23, offering unlimited travel for up to five people across the network — providing excellent value for a day trip.

Matt Cranwell, Managing Director at Stagecoach East Midlands, said: "We continually review our timetables to ensure they reflect how and when our customers want to travel. These additional morning journeys on Service 56 provide greater flexibility for those planning a day out, whether that’s visiting the coast or travelling into Lincoln. Combined with affordable fares, including £3 single journeys and our great value Group Day Out ticket, we’re making it easier than ever for people to choose bus for their leisure travel.”

Customers are encouraged to check updated timetables before travelling. Full timetable information for the updated service is available on the Stagecoach East Midlands website at https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-offers/east-midlands/lincoln-and-newark-services.
