Brylaine’s Saturday bus service to remain suspended for four more months

Brylaine Travel will not be looking to reinstate its Saturday bus service until July 31.

Plans by Brylaine Travel to reinstate their axed Saturday bus service from the end of this month have been cancelled due to a continued shortage of drivers.

The Boston-based bus operator announced in December they would be cancelling their Saturday service for three months.

The Saturday service had been operating in the Boston, Spilsby and Horncastle areas - but was cancelled from January 1 due to the driver shortage.

Their week day services and school services remain unaffected.

In a statemen, Brylaine’s managing director Marianne Garbutt said: “With regret we announce Brylaine will not be reinstating our commercial network of ‘Saturday Bus Services’, directly after 31/03/2022.

“Whilst we have endeavoured to recruit in the 10 weeks since suspending them, we have unfortunately been unable to recruit to the levels that enable the reinstatement of weekend bus services.

“Therefore, we are continuing with our initial purpose of operating ‘all weekday timetabled bus services between Monday - Friday’ to ensure consistency and confidence for passengers travelling throughout week.
