Update on bus services 833 & 93:

July 5th, 2020

NottsBus 833

*After operating a ‘demand responsive’ service since March 13th, we are returning to full regular pre-COVID timetables from Monday 6th July. This is at the request of Nottinghamshire County Council who fund the service.

*From Monday buses will operate their old regular timetables with 2 buses operating hourly to/from Bingham. 1 via Orston & Aslockton and 1 via the Cropwells.

*Concessionary passes are valid on all journeys after 09:30 Mon-Fri as per national guidelines. However, as an enhancement offered by NCC, passes can also be used on the 09:03 (Langar) and 09:05 (Barnstone) journey to Bingham via Orston. Passes are then valid on all Saturday journeys.

 

Service 93

*On Monday 22nd June, we started a new service number 93 between Bingham and Grantham, running 6 days a week.

*Journey time on the 93 is approximately 32 mins, there are 7 journeys to Grantham daily, with 6 return buses.

*Unfortunately this service cannot serve any Vale of Belvoir villages but locals can connect in Bingham Market Place where the bus uses the same stand as the 833.

*Concessionary passed are valid on journeys after 09:30 Mon-Fri and all journeys on Saturdays.

*Full timetable, and route map available via the weblink on the 3rd ‘general point’ below.

 

General Points

*Face coverings are mandatory on public transport in England (exemptions apply). Masks can be bought onboard for £2 if a passenger needs one.

*We are currently operating exact fare only to minimise transmission risks for fare payers.

*We have recently launched a new website to advertise the local bus services we operate, providing route maps, timetables, fare charts, and any other important information: www.vectare.co.uk/localbus

*We have recently launched 2 social media channels to help stay connected with the local communities we serve and their residents. These provide service updates, disruption information and act as a customer service channel. These are: Twitter – @vectarelive and Facebook – facebook.com/vectarelive

Tea & Chat Sessions – Monday at 14.00

June 9th, 2020

You are invited to Tea and chat sessions on Mondays at 2pm via Zoom.

This is a place to come together and socialise and talk about anything you like. The aim is to help improve our health and wellbeing and ensure that we are not feeling isolated throughout this pandemic and to keep everyone in the community going.

On talking to people I realise that a lot of us (myself included) are feeling lonely and getting rather down. This is affecting especially those living alone but also those with family around.

So please get in touch for the codes to join us on zoom so we can continue to pull together and help support each other through this.

Sorry, it’s taken me so long to put this out there. It’s my ongoing internet issues that have prevented me from doing it sooner! I’ve decided that we should just start it up regardless of my difficulties and hopefully, BT will sort it soon 🤞

I will also ensure that this is emailed out to those who are not on Facebook. Thanks to Justina for letting me know how to go about doing this.

My contact details for the log in details  to join the meeting are as follows:
