Unlike conventional bus routes, itravel adapts to passenger journey requests within a defined operating area, helping people access key destinations including town centres, schools, medical appointments, railway stations, leisure facilities and local businesses.

The expanded service continues to operate across its existing area while also reaching additional rural communities, improving transport links and helping residents stay connected to work, education, healthcare and social opportunities.

The service now has increased capacity, with three vehicles available to serve communities including Barrow, Dunham-on-the-Hill, Mickle Trafford, Picton, Stoak, Acton Bridge, Marton, Whitegate, Foxtwist Green, Kelsall, Willington, Mere Bank and Little Leigh, with opportunities for further expansion where operationally viable.

Existing itravel customers do not need to re-register to continue using the service. However, customers should note that the service’s call centre telephone number will change.

Residents can book journeys through the itravel app or by telephone and bookings are open for the new extended service now.
