A seasonal bus service linking Chorley, Adlington and Rivington will return from Sunday 3 May, helping people travel to Rivington on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
Lancashire County Council is reintroducing service 125R, utilising Lancashire Combined County Authority's Bus Grant funding from HM Government.
The service will operate on Sundays and Bank Holidays until 1 November 2026.
The route will run hourly between Chorley Interchange and Rivington Village Hall, with stops in Adlington and a new link to Adlington Railway Station, allowing passengers to connect easily with rail services.
The service will be operated by Pilkingtonbus. Lancashire County Council day tickets will be valid on the route, along with the discounted Sunday single fare.
Andrew Varley, Head of Service for Passenger and Fleet Transport Lancashire County Council, said:
“This seasonal service provides a practical way for people to reach Rivington without needing to drive, particularly at busy weekends and Bank Holidays.
"The addition of a stop at Adlington Railway Station also makes it easier for passengers to combine bus and rail travel when visiting the area.”
