Key benefits
These trials aim to provide new connections for regional communities for commuting to large regional hubs to attend medical or health appointments, for shopping, recreational activities and visiting family and friends.
Each trial follows extensive community engagement, which helps us understand the community need. Following the trial period, reviews will be undertaken to determine the future of the services.
Trial services are in addition to existing train and coach services.
