Welland Wanderer is a pair of bus services in Northamptonshire, UK.

History

[edit]

The service was introduced on 9 November 2018 as a replacement for the number 67, which was withdrawn in May.[1]

The service was suspended from 1 March 2020 due to low usage as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] In July 2020, Kettering Borough Council agreed funding of £2,600 which would allow the service to continue for two years.[3] The service resumed on 4 August 2020.[4]

Service

[edit]

The service is funded by both Kettering and Corby councils.[5] There is one return service on Fridays from Stoke Albany to Corby and one return service on Tuesdays from Gretton to Market Harborough. It is operated by Lawson's of Corby.[6]
