New summer bus service for Ironbridge tourists
Getty ImagesA new summer bus service aims to help people get to popular tourist attractions in the Ironbridge Gorge.
The bus will run every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday until 13 September and passengers can hop on and off throughout the day for £2.
It will call at The Wrekin, Wellington town centre, Madeley High Street, Ironbridge Wharfage, Blists Hill Victorian Town, Jackfield Tile Museum and other attractions.
Telford and Wrekin said Ironbridge Gorge Park and Ride at Jiggers Bank car park would also be available throughout the summer.
The council said its "Wrekin Connect" bus was being run as a trial service and it wanted to hear people's feedback.
It said it hoped the service would allow people "to enjoy a full day out exploring the area without the need to use their car".
Ollie Vickers, the councillor responsible for transport, said the bus was a "simple and affordable way to travel".
The council has produced a full timetable and route map.
