Skegness summer buses

[crispy1978]

Does anyone know a link for summer buses (mid-May) around Skegness?

Trying to plan bus routes for evening pub visiting.

You'll generally find the Summer timetables appearing around Easter (the start of low season) on the Stagecoach Bus website.

May Bank Holiday normally sees the start of the High Season timetable, which would give a bus every 10 minutes between Skegness-Chapel and Skegness-Ingoldmells (services 1 and 3 - combining to every 5 minutes Fantasy Island - Skegness).

Evenings see an every 15 minute service Skegness-Fantasy Island (or did last year), with a 30 minute frequency on the 1 and 3 combining at Fantasy Island.

The more rural, interconnect, routes don't change in Summer, except for the introduction of the Summer Sunday timetable on service 9.

Hope that helps!

Cheers

Dave

Thats great, thanks.

Any idea how late the buses run past Butlins in both directions - looking at going out to Ingoldmells for an evening if the buses permit.

Again, don't quote me on this, the last buses left Skegness Bus Station at 2315/2325 outbound, which means they came back past Butlins at 2350-ish towards town...that was the 2011 season btw.

Cheers

These timetables attached may be of some help as a rough idea, they're from 2012 low season for buses serving Butlin's (they were downloaded in April 2012). If I remember correctly from last year the low season runs from the start of school Easter holiday until July, so should cover your mid-May visit. I wouldn't imagine the services this year would be too different from these.
