“The full timetable will now use a low emission Euro 6 diesel bus which has fewer emissions than a single modern car and can provide the service for a full operating day.
“We will also be introducing fares once the full timetable starts.
“Tickets will start from £1.50 single with a full range of single and return tickets available.”
