www.Parctel.com: A bus service linking East Midlands Airport with surrounding villages Melbourne and Swadlincote has recently had its operating hours boosted thanks to funding from the Airport.
The Airlink 69 service now operates hourly from 4am to 11pm, with another service operating at 1am. During the new late night and early morning times, the service operates further a field to Church Gresley, Castle Gresley and Linton. The new timetable came into place on 25 March 2007.
East Midlands Airport Bus Partnership Spokeswoman, Kelly McHugh, said
“We are delighted that the service can now operate during the night. There has been a great response from employers who can now recruit from these areas for late night shifts. It will also benefit our Airport passengers on early morning flights.”
The Airlink 69 is operated by Arriva Midlands and runs 7 days a week, with fares starting at £3.
