Bus diversions for tin bath races

Friday, 12 September 2025 09:33

Bus Vannin says it'll divert buses at the weekend as one of the south's most-anticipated events gets underway.

This Saturday, September 13, is due to see the World Tin Bath Championship in Castletown after it had to be postponed in June.

On Facebook, Isle of Man Transport says road closures mean the 1, 2, 11 and 12 routes will all divert to Fayles Corner and Castle Rushen High School via Alexandra Road, the Castletown Bypass and Red Gap.

There'll be no buses stopping at Victoria Road, Castletown Square and Farrants Way from 1pm until 7pm.
