There is some good news for anyone in North Luffenham who’s ever wished for easier, more flexible ways to get about. Rutland County Council is launching a new on-demand bus service called CallConnect,in our area on 4th August
At last you will be able to get a bus to Oakham for a shop, travel to an appointment at Empingham Surgery, or just take a trip out for lunch at a village pub without the hassle of driving.
Think of it like a mini-bus taxi service, but one that’s affordable (or free!), easy to book, and shared with others heading in the same direction. There’s no timetable – you simply book a ride when you need it, and the clever system plans the route based on who’s travelling where.
📅 It runs when you need it
You can book up to a week in advance – or even just an hour ahead. You can also block book regular journeys if you need to use the bus to get to work every day for instance.
📱 Easy to use
Download the free CallConnect app, or just give them a ring on 0345 234 3344 to book your journey. It’s really straightforward – and yes, you can still talk to a real person if you prefer that to an app.
🧓 Free for concessionary pass holders
If you’ve got a Rutland concessionary bus pass, your journeys are completely free – no catches.
🎉 And right now, it’s free for everyone!
To celebrate the launch, all CallConnect journeys are free until 28th June 2025, no matter your age or ticket type.
♿ Accessible and comfortable
The buses are modern, easy to board, and wheelchair-friendly. Just let them know if you need any assistance when you book.
We all know village life can be peaceful – but sometimes it’s tricky getting to places without a car. Whether it’s picking up prescriptions, meeting friends in Stamford, or getting to the train station, CallConnect takes the stress out of the journey.
It’s great for:
This service launches on 4th April (you can book journeys from 28th July)
