Illuminations Travel Information

The illuminations are set to light up the sky in Blackpool from the 29th August this year. All of your travel information can be found here.

Bus Diversion Information

There will be bus diversions in place during busy times to ensure we keep our customers moving. The bus diversions will affect services 3, 3A, 5, 5A, 5B, 5C, 6, 7, 7A, 11, 11A, 11B, 14.

Due to expected delays and planned events such as the Firework championships and Light Pool, diversions will be in place from 6:30pm every Friday and Saturday night between 30th August and 1st November.

Check our service update page for full details of the diversion routes these services will take.

To ensure our customers experience as little delays as possible, we may ‘switch on’ the illuminations diversions at other busy times as and when needed. We will only do this as required and will keep customers updated via our service update page and social media.

If you usually catch your bus from Blackpool town centre, when the illumination diversions are in place, where you catch your bus from may change.
