Are changes to other bus routes in the area proposed as part of the plan to introduce the SL13 route?
As explained in more detail in the ‘Proposals’ section of this page, we would consider reviewing the frequency of routes 112 and 232 should we decide to introduce route SL13 to ensure bus services in the area would continue to reflect changing customer needs.
