A bus service going to Scunthorpe hospital and popular retail park is set to change, alongside other services across the town. Stagecoach East Midlands has announced that they will be improving the Service 350, connecting villages from across North Lincolnshire to the Gallagher Retail Park and Scunthorpe General Hospital.
The change, which comes into effect on Monday, September 1, will provide an extended route to Gallagher Retail Park. The change means those wishing to take advantage of the popular outlets at the Retail Park, including M&S, Boots, Next, TK Maxx and Tesco Extra will be able to do so every 30 minutes throughout the day Monday to Saturday, with a two hourly service on a Sunday too.
The extended bus service also fits in with changes in NHS regional health. With specialist healthcare services focused on hospital sites across the Humber area, patients may need to travel to reach treatment; improving the bus service links between hospitals will create new travel opportunities and better access to healthcare.
Service 350 will directly join Hull Royal Infirmary and Scunthorpe Hospital every 30 minutes in both directions, providing regular connections from villages and towns across North Lincolnshire for NHS staff, patients, and visitors.
The extension of Service 350, combined with current Service 1 journeys, will provide a more frequent bus service between the NHS Glanford Park and Ride site and Scunthorpe General Hospital, making it easier for commuting, visiting and attending appointments. This service enhancement is part of the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) initiative, funded in partnership with North Lincolnshire County Council.
Dave Skepper, Commercial Director of Stagecoach East Midlands, said: “We’re delighted to announce improvements to our Service 350. By extending the route, we’re offering easier journeys to the shops in Scunthorpe town centre and at Gallagher retail park for local people along the Service 350 route.
“It will also be easier to reach Scunthorpe General Hospital. We are always listening to community feedback and working with our partners to try to improve public transport options.”
Other changes that have been made to Scunthorpe Services from September 1, include the Services 1, 2, 7, 8, 11, 90, 100, 101, 103, 360, 361, 560 and 601.
