Shropshire Link Buses
At the Parish Council meeting held on Monday, 13th October 2008 County Councillor Mrs Ann Hartley reported that the Link Buses were now running which she explained to be an exciting and innovative solution to providing a public transport bus service in all rural parts of Shropshire on a minimum of two days each week. The service will make travelling around rural Shropshire easier and provide a better service and facilities.
Unlike a traditional bus service Shropshire Link is not restricted to a set route or timetable. Instead the bus is able to travel flexibly within an area to meet the demands of people who wish to travel to their nearest market town. Where appropriate the bus has the ability to come direct to your door to make travel easier. If desired, Shropshire Link will also connect to higher frequency bus and rail services to allow for onward travel to a wider selection of destinations.
The service will be provided by new, low floor, easily accessible vehicles. The vehicles have a capacity of 16 seats, much smaller than a normal bus, making them more suitable for driving on rural roads and more comfortable for the passenger. Services must be pre-booked with the dedicated team at Shropshire County Council, Customer Service Centre.
