A TEXT message information service for bus users in Lancashire has been nominated for a marketing award.

The service, run by the county council's public transport department, has been put forward for what are known as the industry 'Oscars' at the Hilton Hotel, London, next month.

Buses boss Nora Ward, Lancashire's cabinet member for Highways and Transportation, is confident that Lancashire will continue its recent run of triumphs at these awards.

"The text messaging service has already been a huge success and has captured the imagination of public transport users," she said
