The start of the seasonal Classic Bus North West operated Seafront 12 service on 29th March along the promenade has seen the northern terminus of the route extended from the Cabin to Cleveleys bus station. The service is currently being operated by Olympians and Volvo B10Ms and will hopefully be joined in the summer by some 102 seater 12 metre MCW Metrobuses, converted to open-top condition for use by the The Big Bus Company in London and originally owned by China Motor Bus in Hong Kong. On school days the Seafront 12 southern terminus will be at the Tower.
