The old (pre 1984) bus station alongside the museum. Reliance (Simmons (Coaches) Ltd of Great Gonerby) shared services in the town with National Bus subsidiary Lincolnshire Road Car. Reliance continued to run after deregulation in 1986, until being bought out in 2003 by Mass Transit of Sheffield. Mass Transit then took over Road Car operations the following year when the latter closed their local garage, but had over-reached themselves financially and pulled out of Grantham in February 2005. The Simmons subsidiary had itself gone into liquidation at the end of the previous year. Since 2005, local services are run by Centrebus.
