Minister Goes Against His Officers Advice To Amend Bus Services After Review

Following an overhaul of the Island's bus timetable in September, which was met with uproar from many bus passengers, a three month review has now been completed.

Some of the changes being put forward are to introduce a 'Shopper Special' service weekdays between Ramsey and Douglas.

And daily buses from Douglas to leave at 5:45PM to suit more passengers.

A revision to Services 22 and 22A which will improve things for Willaston residents but might inconvenience those going to Onchan.

Minsiter Cretney says despite his colleagues advising against this change to Onchan services, he feels it is the right thing to do.

The changes have been submitted to the Road Traffic Licensing Committee for approval.
