New resort bus making it easier to explore Blackpool's top attractions arrives in time for Easter break
Blackpool is welcoming two new Resort Rider bus routes that will help holidaymakers, day-trippers and locals to explore the town’s iconic attractions.
The Resort Rider service, operated by Blackpool Transport, will start on Saturday, April 5 and consist of Routes 1 and 2.
Both routes are designed to provide direct links to popular destinations across the resort, including the world-famous Blackpool Tower, the three piers and Blackpool Zoo.
Route 1 will continue to serve key locations along the promenade, including Affinity Outlet Fleetwood, Cleveleys, Norbreck and North Pier, with a stop at Blackpool North Station for easy connections to other parts of the town.
Meanwhile, the new Route 2 will operate an hourly service, connecting the popular Cala Gran Holiday Park, Cleveleys and Norbreck to the heart of Blackpool.
Stops on this route include all three piers, the Pleasure Beach and Blackpool Zoo.
Both routes will be clearly marked with the Resort Rider name on the destination blinds, making it easy for passengers to identify the right bus for their sightseeing adventures.
