Jane Glover says it's 'baffling' that routes go to Niarbyl despite cafe closure

An Arbory and Rushen Commissioner says there's some 'optimism' about the Cregneash bus route being reinstated. 

Jane Glover believes there's a 'considerable swell' of people, not just residents in the south of the Island, that want it back. 

The route was discontinued from service after it was deemed not financially viable last summer, but the infrastructure minister has said her department will be looking at options.

Mrs Glover says although there's no time frame given for its reintroduction the announcement is a 'beacon of light' for residents. 

She added that it is 'baffling' the route to Niarbyl is still running, despite the cafe being closed for a couple of years.
