For a little over 15 years we have operated a community transport project in the Wem to Whitchurch corridor. 

Shropshire Council are now providing part funding for us to make services available for members of our group. Residents, visitors and holidaymakers in our area can become members of this scheme.

On Wednesdays we go to Market Drayton with pick ups in Woore, Hinstock and other villages. Please see  "area covered and services" for more detail. Each Thursday we leave our Whixall base for Hanmer, to connect with the service bus to Wrexham  calling in  at Bronington. We then return to Wem for market day,  via Bettisfield (crossing the canal), and Whixall Social centre  for 0950. We return at 12:10 from Wem. We also collect people from the Cockshutt area and bring them into Wem.

We operate a Friday service in the corridor between Wem and Whitchurch starting in Preston Brockhurst at 0830, and then follow a route through Wem Town Centre,  Whixall  and  Tilstock. Higher Heath, Prees, Prees Heath and Fauls Green. Ash can also use our transport but a little later in the morning  and by arrangement. In Whitchurch we  will also do a Friday town run – anywhere in the town for £1.
