Infrastructure minister insists school buses will not be scrapped

Dr Michelle Haywood says some routes could become normal services, where capacity allows

The infrastructure minister insists she's not planning to scrap school buses.

It's after there was some confusion about her comments in Tynwald during a debate on her department's Transport Strategy.

Dr Michelle Haywood says they may stop offering bespoke school buses, instead incorporating them into the normal timetable.

But she reiterated her commitment to providing the service:

A Bus Strategy including more details should be put to Tynwald by January 2026, following an amendment in the court.
