Stagecoach will be making changes to fares in Wilby and we wanted to keep you updated with what's happening.You're probably now in the process of taking a big breath and preparing yourself to ask, "how much are fares going up by"?But it's good news! We want a simple and easy to use bus network for people. Therefore, from the 1st August we're extending the Wellingborough MegaRider to cover what is currently the Rushden Lakes MegaRider (which will be withdrawn from the same date).This means people can travel much further with their Wellingborough MegaRider for the same great price and those who are currently buying a Rushden Lakes MegaRider will be paying up to 45% less for travel!Customers can travel between Wilby, Wellingborough, Finedon, Great Doddington, Higham Ferrers, Irchester, Irthlingborough, Raunds, Rushden, Rushden Lakes & Sharnbrook for just £4.20 a day or £15 for 7 days.This is a huge bonus for those currently travelling on our services who will see massive savings. For this price reduction to be a success we need people to be aware that bus travel is getting cheaper from the 1st August. We are hoping that you can help with that. As a councillor you'll have your finger on the pulse of the community and will hopefully have the ability to let people in your communities know of this change; whether that's through local Facebook groups or newsletters.Full details of the change can be found on our website at: https://www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-offers/midlands/wellingborough-megarider
