Late-night bus services are being introduced to East Lancashire.
Transdev is launching new Monday to Saturday evening journeys on its Hotline route between Blackburn, Padiham and Burnley, starting on Monday, July 21.
The current 10pm service from Preston to Blackburn will be extended to continue through to Padiham and Burnley, departing from Blackburn Bus Station at 10.40pm.
Tony Fiocca, general manager at The Blackburn Bus Company, which operates the Hotline service, said: "These new journeys will improve access to leisure facilities across East Lancashire, while offering better evening connections with other routes at Preston, Blackburn and Burnley bus stations.
"Our new timetable is good news for the evening economy in Blackburn, Padiham and Burnley, and we’re sure these extended journeys will prove popular with many of our customers."
A new service will also depart from Burnley Bus Station at 11.28pm for Padiham and Blackburn, replacing the current 11.28pm Mainline M2 bus from Burnley to Padiham.

This fare is supported by Lancashire County Council through the Government-funded Lancashire Bus Service Improvement Plan.
Full details of the new journeys will be published in an updated timetable, available online and via the Transdev Go mobile app.
