A new CountyConnect bus service in Northampton is providing an ‘on demand’ service, where residents in rural areas can call or text for a bus. This comes after Northamptonshire County Council phased out subsidies for non-commercial services as covered in CBW998.

In many other locations, infrequent services running less than three times a week have now been replaced by daily services.

The service works on a first-come-first-served basis and journeys can be booked up to a week in advance for travel to any other stop in the area served, not just the local town centre.
