Local Bus Service

530 Bus Service - update

The 530 service has ceased, however a replacement service will start on 19th December. The reason for this delay is the requirement for 42 days' notice of a new service required by the Traffic Commissioner's Office. The 531/2 services will continue to operate as usual in the meantime.
