The new bus service between Lancaster and Knott End will launch this Sunday.
As previously reported by Beyond Radio, the service 88 will link to Garstang, Nateby, Out Rawcliffe, Scronkey and Stakepool, working alongside the current 89 bus operating directly between Lancaster and Knott End.
It means there will now be a bus every hour between Lancaster and Knott End from Monday to Saturday, with the new number 88 alternating throughout the day with 89. Service 88 will also operate every two hours on Sundays and Bank Holidays.
The new service has been funded by the government in support of Lancashire's £34.1m Bus Service Improvement Plan, and will be operated by Kirkby Lonsdale Coaches in partnership with Lancashire County Council.
Timetables are available at local Visitor Information Centres until they close on September 9, and there are also details at the Lancaster District Bus Users Group website.
Lancaster District Bus Users Group said: "The changes will restore long-lost links between Glasson, Cockerham and Garstang as well as between Garstang, Nateby, Preesall and Knott End, which will be welcomed by local residents.
"The new timetable will also see the restoration of a Sunday service between Lancaster and Knott End, which was lost when the county council cut its own budget for bus service support in 2016."
