Marion Mackay fromour Passenger Transport Unit explains: “Our flexible town services endeavour to pick you up at the time you requested, but as all bookings are taken on a first come, first-served basis, you may be offered a trip at a slightly different time to fit in with other passenger bookings. Rural shopper services tend to operate to a timetable, albeit timings may vary depending on the number and location of bookings.![]()
