New bus routes to be announced soon

Proposals to revamp the Isle of Man's bus network, including new late night services and early morning routes to Ronaldsway Airport, are being assessed.

Responses from a public consultation have been received and show many of the planned changes are supported.

Public transport chiefs also plan to introduce new late night services to Jurby and Port St Mary, as a result.

Island residents were asked to provide feedback on the proposed changes, which are designed to improve access and frequency of services to local shops, businesses and residential areas.

Community, Culture and Leisure Minister David Cretney hopes the final network and timetables will be announced soon.
