Background

Coastliner Buses (formally Nuttalls Coaches Limited) operates a number of bus services and school transport across Blackpool. In 2022, Coastliner became part of Transpora Group, which operates a number of public transport businesses across England.

History

A blueprint for the future of bus services in the Blackpool area was submitted to the UK Government in 2021. Each council was required to publish a Bus Service Improvement Plan in order to meet eligibility requirements and, thus, receive a share of £3 billion in funding. Blackpool Council held discussions with Blackpool Transport (which it owns), Stagecoach and Coastliner regarding the possibility of crossing the boundaries of other local authorities in an attempt to cover all of The Fylde.[3]

Routes

Three regular routes are currently in operation, with an additional seven weekday-only school services.[4]
