There is a bus stop with a shelter at the end of the Promenade, on the
side of the Primary School ( Scoill Phurt le Moirrey). Buses run to
Castletown, the Airport and Ballsalla and Douglas via Port Erin or
Shore Rd [most buses continue along the Prom in Douglas to the Electric
Railway and Onchan].
Until further notice there is a temporary timetable in operation.

other goes via Port Erin and Colby. Both routes join just before
Castletown. Early morning most buses go via Port Erin. Sundays are similar to the Monday to Saturdays timetable but with slightly less buses in the early morning.
