Passengers in Cromwell, Grassthorpe, Low Marnham, and Normanton-on-Trent can look forward to a new and improved bus service after support from the county council.
From Monday, 2 December 2024, a revised service 37 and a new service 38 will replace the current 339 bus service, providing direct links to Retford and Newark. This service will still be operated by Marshalls on Mondays to Saturdays.
These improvements are partly funded by Nottinghamshire County Council’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP). These new direct journeys mean there is no longer a need to transfer between buses to reach Retford or Newark and aim to be more reliable than before.
Councillor Neil Clarke MBE, Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “I’m delighted to see the re-launch of the improved 37 and new 38 service, which will make it easier for passengers to get to Retford and Newark, particularly those who live in the more rural villages. These changes will help to offer a simpler service to passengers with greater reliability.”
Dan Stone, Operations Assistant at Marshalls, said: “The new 37 and 38 timetable means that passengers from our rural communities will no longer have the hassle of changing buses during their journey to Newark, and it opens up brand-new journey opportunities to Retford for passengers living in Cromwell, Carlton-on-Trent, Grassthorpe, and Normanton-on-Trent, giving people more choice and encouraging even more people to leave the car at home and catch the bus.”
