SERVICE: HS1 BLACKBURN AND BURNLEY HOSPITALS SHUTTLE

Moving People is delighted to offer the HS1 service which will connect Blackburn and Burnley town centres, including linking both Royal Blackburn Hospital & Burnley General Hospital.  This is a strictly commercial service, which means it does not benefit from any subsidy or financial support from East Lancashire Teaching Hospital, Blackburn with Darwen Council or Lancashire County Council.  Fares will be capped at at maximum of £3 per journey under the governments fare cap scheme and at present there are no discounted weekly or monthly tickets available, as the £3 fare cap represents best value.  Concessionary passes are accepted between 09:30 and 23:00.

It is inevitable that parallels will be drawn with the previous fully funded service that is to be withdrawn on 31st March 2025.  In order to make this commercially viable some compromises were essential in its creation in comparison to the previous service. We have developed this timetable to try and meet the needs of the majority of customers and it will be continually reviewed to provide the best service possible
