Northamptonshire County Council is reviewing the Service 8 bus route between Northampton, Towcester, Brackley and Bicester.
Liberal Democrat Councillor Chris Lofts says: “These are key links between Towcester and both Northampton and Brackley. Many people without access to a car rely on this bus service. Liberal Democrats are keen to improve the service and welcome the county council’s announcement of a review.”
Councillor Davis Tarbun comments: “Towcester’s Liberal Democrat Focus Team will be pleased to hear the views of users of the Service 8 and in particular views of how it could be improved. We will forward to NCC any suggested revisions to the current timetable and comments on the operation of the current service.”
The current contract for the section of bus Service 8 between Silverstone and Bicester is due to end on Saturday 29th August (the section between Silverstone and Northampton is operated by Stagecoach without subsidy). Northamptonshire County Council is now designing the bus timetable for the replacement contract, in conjunction with Oxfordshire County Council, who subsidise the section between the county boundary and Bicester.
