Service Update β West Butterwick
We sincerely apologise to all residents, and especially the students of West Butterwick, that we are once again unable to serve the village this morning due to the ongoing road closure.
We had been advised by the North Lincolnshire Council that the road would be reopened today. However, when our buses arrived on the Isle of Axholme this morning, we discovered that the road remains closed.
We are currently trying to establish why the closure is still in place and when the road will reopen.
We completely understand the frustration and inconvenience this is causing, particularly for students relying on our services to get to John Leggott College or North Lindsey College. Unfortunately, the situation is entirely outside of our control, and our drivers are unable to access the village while the closure remains in place.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the disruption. We will continue to seek clarification and provide further updates as soon as we have more information.
During the continued closure service 399 will divert via Outmill in both directs.
