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.

Breaking the news on the Mannin Line this afternoon, Infrastructure Minister Michelle Haywood said she hopes the route will be up and running soon.

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