PARK & RIDE Everyone is of course very welcome to use the Park & Ride shuttle buses but we would ask, that in order to avoid any unnecessary waiting, any able-bodied could enjoy what is a very pleasant walk down the harbourside rather than queue. This would benefit the infirm and very young for whom the service is much needed. Thankyou.
