In April 2001, Stagecoach sold their operations in Blackburn, Bolton and Clitheroe to the Blazefield Group, which rebranded them as Burnley & Pendle and Lancashire United.

Following the sale, investment commenced with a fleet of 30 Wright Renown bodied Volvo B10BLE single-deck vehicles introduced into service in September 2001.

Most of the company's contracted services with Lancashire County Council were terminated, with operations transferred to Northern Blue.

[13][14][15] The service, which operates between Blackburn and Darwen up to every ten minutes, with up to three buses per hour extending to Bolton, is served by a fleet of Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC single-deck vehicles.

Features include free WiFi, USB and wireless charging and audio-visual next stop announcements.

Following the arrival of a batch of Optare Versa single-deck vehicles in July 2016, the former Hyndburn Connect branding was replaced by a new two-tone blue 6 & 7 livery.

It is now operated by a fleet of Volvo B9TL/Wright Gemini 2 double-deck vehicles, branded in a two-tone purple livery.

The service is operated by a fleet of Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown single-deck vehicles, branded in a two-tone blue and yellow livery.

This was a circular service that connected Blackburn with the towns of Rishton, Clayton-le-Moors, Great Harwood, Oswaldtwistle and Accrington in the district of Hyndburn.

The Blackburn Outer Circle was a circular service that connected schools, hospitals and leisure opportunities around the edge of the town.

The Transport Department did not register the service for commercial operation, and after deregulation, it became one of several routes in the area won by GM Buses on a nil tender basis.

At the next round of tenders, the services passed to Ribble, who operated it using Leyland Olympians from Preston's Frenchwood garage.

As of August 2016 this route no longer operates due to budget cuts by Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council.

This service was introduced in late 2009 following customer requests after two years of the Whalley Range area being unserved by bus.

As of 16 September 2012 this route was divided into two separate services with all buses now terminating in Blackburn town centre.

The fleet consists of diesel-powered single and double-deck buses manufactured by Optare, Alexander Dennis and Wrightbus.
