Revised bus timetable introduced this week

A revised bus timetable will be introduced on September 7 as the new school year starts. 

The government says this will replace the contingency timetable that has been used for the past few months amid staffing issues.

Infrastructure Minister Chris Thomas says the recruitment campaign for drivers has been successful, enabling the team to produce a resilient and reliable timetable.

The main changes are as follows:

School services

Traditional school services will be back in operation.

South Route: Douglas to/from Port Erin

The South route will resume its direct link to Noble’s Hospital.

The South route will operate at a 20-minute frequency for longer periods to ensure demand is covered.

Douglas to Peel and Ramsey

Routes 5 and 6 will continue to operate at a 30-minute frequency.

Inter-Douglas routes

The 21 service around Anagh Coar and Farm Hill will increase to a 30-minute frequency.

The 13 service around Groudle Glen will not operate during this timetable.

The 1H service around Willaston has been reinstated and will serve Johnny Watterson Lane instead of the estate itself.
