\n The first bus leaves Peel at 8.05am\n <\/p>\n

A new service connecting Peel with the south of the Island<\/a> begins operation today (9 August).<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One resident who is planning to be on the first bus out is Christa Viohl.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She’s campaigned for a bus route to service Cregneash since the number 28 was stopped last year.<\/p>\n

Ms Viohl also works at the Rushen Heritage Centre and says it will be a big boost:<\/p>\n
