Year round service will operate seven days a week
A new bus route including a service to Cregneash will operate year-round seven days a week.
The 8S service will connect Peel and Foxdale with the south of the Island, including the Sound via Cregneash.
It will also serve the Airport, Castletown, Port Erin and Port St Mary.
The previous Cregneash route was scrapped due to falling passenger numbers, resulting in a campaign by local residents to reinstate the service.
The service is subject to approval from the Road Transport Licensing Committee.

Siobhán Fletcher spoke to her when she came off air to find out more.
