A major change to the Morecambe to Preston and Lancaster to Blackpool bus services has been announced.
New timetables will come into effect on the 40, 41 and 42 services on March 27 following a review by bus company Stagecoach.
Lancaster District Bus Users' Group has welcomed the changes saying they are a "great improvement".
The 40 and 41 route is from Morecambe-Preston and the 42 serves Lancaster-Blackpool.
The Bus Users Group said that, for the first time, they'd been invited to comment on Stagecoach's proposals before they were finalised.
They said the timetable change, which will see almost every bus running at new times, is designed to improve reliability and to provide better spacing of buses along the A6, ending the current situation where at certain times of day two buses are timed very closely together, followed by a long gap. There are also changes to service numbers on some journeys to make it clearer which way buses go.
The new timetable has departures from Lancaster on the hour (40), 20 past (42) and 40 past (41).
Coming north, buses leave Preston at 15 and 45 past the hour and from Blackpool at 42 minutes past, combining to give departures from Garstang on the hour and at 30 and 45 minutes past each hour. The Sunday service on the 42 will be doubled to every hour.
