Today's Live Departures / Service Timetable

 

Walk to Higher Foxdale Industrial Estate, Higher Foxdale
Less than a minute. Depart 09:32, Arrive 09:32

Take 4B bus to Albany Road, Tynwald Road Junction, Peel
20 minutes. Depart 09:43, Arrive 10:03

That involves an 11 minute wait in Foxdale. If you lived South of Castletown you would have to change in Castletown (7 mins or 37 mins if you live in Colby). The next one is 12:42. Also I think those times don't quite match - probably the app hasn't been updated https://www.iombusandrail.im/media/2986/niarbyl-foxdale-to-douglas-mon-fri.pdf

 Of course, most trips will involving changing in Douglas.

That explains why the new Lord St development has a bus station with a changing room. 

Or maybe it's just in case Spewin Juan does it again.

The fact that a private development also has effectively a bus station in it is puzzling me.  Why would they do this, if they weren't receiving some sort of sweetener from the Bus Operator (Govt)?

DoI owned the sites and it was part of the original brief for developers that they included bus station of a certain spec, indicated contributions expected from Government etc as well as hotel facilities. That last bit has been dropped (maybe because of Premier Inn and less business travel post Covid).
