**WE HAVE JUST A FEW COPIES LEFT in our Information Office on Preston Bus Station**

AVAILABLE NOW

**As featured in the LEP Monday 10th March**

"Preston Buses" by local author Mike Rhodes offers a fascinating insight into the history of public transport in Preston. Focussing on the buses, depot and operations of Preston Bus from the tram era to the present day, the publication will interest not only transport enthusiasts, but Proud Prestonians everywhere.

Priced at £16.95, "Preston Buses" is available to buy from our Information Office now.

Please be aware that delays are possible on services 23, 88A, 88C due to high volumes of traffic in the RPH area of Fulwood. This seems to be happening consistently, but is likely to be heavier this afternoon as most schools finish early for Easter.
Apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

IT’S BACK!

KIDS TRAVEL HALF PRICE!

The Christmas child fare reduction proved popular, so we're doing it again - over EASTER we’re cutting our CITY NETWORK* CHILD FLAT FARE in HALF to 50p

From Saturday 5th April 2014 to Easter Monday 21st April 2014 our CITY NETWORK child flat fare will be just 50p per journey

Happy Easter from Preston Bus

*City network only - does not apply to LCC contracted services. Flat fare returns to normal price of £1 on Tuesday 22nd April.

Just been informed - believe the situation round Oliver's Place in Fulwood has now cleared, so services should now be getting back to normal.

Services 23, 88A, 88C are experiencing extreme delays due to congestion on on Oliver's Place in Fulwood. This congestion may spread to surrounding areas of Eastway, Sherwood Way, CaxtonRoad, and Pitman Way near Asda. Police are on the scene, and we hope the situation will improve shortly.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience suffered, and thank you for your patience.
