The Long Mynd and Stiperstones Shuttle Bus returns this summer with a new route, new timetable and new fare chart. This is in response to local demand, and to provide a new attraction for the area, that links more of our delightful villages.Â
We are trialling a new ‘Round the Mynd’ circuit, which include stops at Plowden, Myndtown and Wentnor, opening up exciting new walking possibilities for passengers. We have also made the decision to trial a different ticketing system – the bus will run with a greatly reduced and simplified ticket pricing scheme, but will no longer be free to concessionary bus pass holders.
We hope the new service will be welcomed by regular users of the old service, attract new users, and provide new ways to enjoy this outstanding landscape. We have set ourselves the target of 40 passengers a day to make the service sustainable for the longer term.
Please help us achieve this by using the bus, and telling your friends, family and visitors about it. Let us know what you think of the new service too by commenting on our Facebook site (ShrophillsAONB) or contacting us through the website.
We’d like to thank all users who have given us their views on the bus and have helped us keep the service running. Thanks also to Church Stretton Town Council, The National Trust, Natural England and Shropshire Council for providing the grants to subsidise the service. We hope you enjoy it, see you on the bus!
