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:
Plans submitted for temporary base for Douglas RNLI
Work underway to remove asbestos from former Golf Links Hotel
Police raise welfare concerns about vehicle occupant
New EV charging points planned for Island's ports
