Council’s Nairn town bus service extended to include Lochloy and Tradespark
Following the announcement from Stagecoach that their bus services to Nairn’s Lochloy estate will be withdrawn from Monday 7 July, The Highland Council’s In-house Bus team have amended their Nairn Town service timetable to include Lochloy, ensuring residents still have access to a bus service.
Chair of the Council’s Economy and Infrastructure Committee, Councillor Ken Gowans said: ““I’m delighted that our In-house bus team has been able to react so quickly and positively to the news that Stagecoach are withdrawing their service that connects the Lochloy community with the town centre and Sainsbury’s.
“When we set up our In-House bus service, we said one of its strengths would be the ability to be flexible and to react to customer demands, so I look forward to seeing our buses providing this extended service in Nairn.”
Following requests from the community, the revised timetable will also include the Tradespark estate allowing residents a direct service from Nairn Hospital.
This extended 251 service will run Monday to Friday and will start on Friday 4 July to coincide with the school holidays. The new route will take passengers to and from Sainsbury’s Nairn to Lochloy, Nairn High Street, Nairn hospital, Tradespark and Achareidh.
All updated timetables can be found on the Council’s website.
