Mansfield’s evening on-demand bus service, which launched in August 2022, is be extended from three nights a week to six.

It operates from Monday to Saturday, 7.30pm until midnight.

Nottsbus On Demand doesn’t have a fixed route or follow a timetable, meaning that passengers can travel anywhere between bus stops and designated points in the operating zone, where there is not already a scheduled bus service running.

Journeys can be booked on a free app and there is also a dedicated telephone line.

Coun Neil Clarke, cabinet member for Transport and Environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, which operates the service, said there would also be new services in Newark and Rushcliffe.

“We are delighted to offer more flexible and convenient travel options for our residents and visitors with the launch of these new Nottsbus on Demand services,” he added.

“Whether residents need to access the shops and amenities in the villages of central Rushcliffe, or enjoy a night out in Newark or Mansfield, they can now book a bus ride that suits their schedule and destination.

“Use the Nottsbus on Demand app or phone up to select a pick-up and drop-off point in the zone and we’ll do the rest.”
