Passengers in Barrow-upon-Humber are now benefiting from new digital bus displays providing real-time service updates, clearer travel information and improved accessibility.

The screens show live bus arrival times, updates on any delays or diversions, and full timetables – making it easier for residents to plan journeys, stay connected and feel confident using public transport.

Each display also includes text-to-speech audio, supporting people with visual impairments and anyone who prefers spoken information.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, visited the new display in Barrow alongside ward members and bus users.

He said: “Passengers in Barrow can now get clear, up-to-the-minute information the moment they reach the stop. These smart displays make travelling by bus simpler, more reliable and more accessible for everyone.

“We’re focused on improving the passenger experience and strengthening public transport across all our communities. This technology is a practical step that will help people stay connected – whether getting to work, school, appointments or to see family and friends.”

The Barrow installation forms part of a wider programme that will see 49 digital displays fitted across towns and villages in North Lincolnshire over the coming months, funded through the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP).

Digital displays are being installed across Scunthorpe, Brigg, Barton-upon-Humber, Epworth, Broughton, Haxey and other locations as part of the first phase of the upgrade.

Families, dog walkers and fitness fans visiting the Humber Bridge and Water’s Edge Country Park can enjoy a bigger, better and more imaginative place to play.

North Lincolnshire Council has unveiled brand-new equipment at the popular riverside park – with local MP Martin Vickers giving it the thumbs up.

There’s also a new slide – first tested by Cllr Christine Patterson, cabinet member for healthy lives and places.

She said: “Families tell us that places like this matter. This new investment means children can play, learn and burn off energy while parents enjoy everything the Humber Bridge and Water’s Edge have to offer.

“It will make a great day out even better.”

The refreshed play space includes exciting climbing towers, a high-energy multi-play unit and a new toddler zone designed to support early physical development.

The upgrade strengthens the area’s growing reputation as one of the areas best active days out, joining up with the Water’s Edge nature reserve and the walking and cycling routes.

Cllr Patterson added: “We’re focused on creating healthy, happy communities – and good quality, safe spaces for children to play are a big part of that.”

The enhancements follow feedback from local families and visitors who wanted more inclusive equipment, better seating and more opportunities for children of all ages to be active outdoors.

The Humber Bridge Play Park is free to use and open daily.
