how could this benefit Grimsby. Any routes being introduced or reinstated? Maybe a few frequency increases?
maybe services more frequent on routes 3 and 4 at weekends, increased frequency of route 7, 9, 10 (every 15 minutes) and 12 every 30 minutes limited extensions of 12W. Potential frequent extensions of 7 to Laceby and Aylesbury. Also later evening services on route 7 at a reduce frequency of hourly or half-hourly after 7pm
