The first bus leaves Peel at 8.05am
A new service connecting Peel with the south of the Island begins operation today (9 August).
The 8S will not only take residents to Ronaldsway Airport and Castletown, but it will also head towards Port Erin and some of the Island's key destinations - Cregneash and The Sound.
One resident who is planning to be on the first bus out is Christa Viohl.
She's campaigned for a bus route to service Cregneash since the number 28 was stopped last year.
Ms Viohl also works at the Rushen Heritage Centre and says it will be a big boost:
Incapacity benefit claims remain stable as annual cost rises to over £15 million
DoI 'carried out inadequate searches' in response to FoI
Bowel cancer awareness campaign returns with Island-wide initiative
