A bus service from Luton to South Hatfield is set to be withdrawn from mid-April due to "low passenger numbers".

The service runs between Luton, Harpenden, Wheathampstead, Welwyn Garden City and South Hatfield. The last day of operation is Friday, April 14.

After discussing the withdrawal with Hertfordshire County Council, Centrebus will continue to operate a revised 366 service between Luton and Welwyn Garden City, from Monday, April 17.

A spokesperson for Centrebus said: "Service 366 is being withdrawn due to low passenger numbers. Unfortunately, the service was not covering its operating costs.

"We understand that Hertfordshire County Council may be looking at options to tender for a replacement or partial replacement to this route, possibly with a different operator."

From April 17, the 366 will operate a peak journey to cover school travel from Welwyn Garden City and Luton in the morning, and from Luton to Welwyn Garden City in the afternoon to meet the needs of Roundwood Park School and Katherine Warrington School.
