Since our
last post, we have been talking to operators with a view to one of them
possibly taking on the Outer Circle service on a commercial basis. Unlike the
other routes that have been replaced, we have not been as successful with the
Outer Circle, 5A and 5C services with operators citing it was too expensive to
operate given the numbers using it. So with that in mind, we regret that the
Outer Circle will cease operation after its last journey on the 27th
August.
For many, it
will still be possible to make your journey albeit by using connecting services
at Blackburn Bus station.
