There’s also a later service provided than there was previously on the 265, so it represents a pretty good investment from Go North East’s point of view which will be backed up with appropriate marketing (including printed publicity).
It’s one of the big positives in this round of changes, which hasn’t really been discussed here (possibly because the majority seem so focused on the negatives at the moment?!) and likewise the 21 to Brandon, opening up through connections to the Arnison and New College.

Have I read this right:
The route has been launched, alongside a Sunday service - but because 2 buses haven't been painted yet, there's very little promotion or marketing 'until things settle down'?
What happened to striking when the iron was hot and letting passengers know about these changes well in advance?
On a slightly different note.
There was a little bit of a conversation a few days back about the booklets and how they're being distributed.
I've seen one!
No idea who the distribution company was, but rather than post through letterboxes, they had been thrown on to the ground in gardens or dropped in front of doors.
I've not actually read it yet as the booklet was still drying out last time I had the chance to look.
