Did you make it through Christmas without sliding into you know who’s DMs with a little ‘Merry Christmas’?
Nah me neither, but let’s see if we can get through the New Year a shred of self respect left intact.
Tonight will see revellers (journalistically this is all we’re allowed to go party goers on NYE, anything else just sounds wrong) heading to pubs, clubs and your partner’s really dull colleague’s house (you know who you are).
But whether you’re out throwing shapes or throwing drinks at him for that thing he said about your mum (uncalled for mate, sort yourself out) you need a plan for getting home.
If you want to be taken home in a Mercedes driven by an experienced and dedicated driver, then Bus Vannin have you covered.
Most importantly, whether you get a taxi or a bus, be nice to the drivers, they work tonight so the rest of us can make fools of ourselves.
Night Owl
The last buses out of Douglas are at 12:15am.
Those buses are N3, this is for everyone heading to Willaston, Governor’s Hill, Onchan (note to self, this doesn’t stop at Manx Arms, it goes down Avondale Road and turns left), Laxey, Dhoon, Ramsey, you get the idea.
Going South is the N1 while the N5 is heading West as far as Peel.
Into Douglas
If you’re heading the other way, the N1 leaves Port St Mary at 12:10am and Port Erin at 12:17am. It will be in Castletown at 12:37am.
From Ramsey inwards, the bus will leave the town’s bus station at 12:20am, pass through Laxey at 12:40am and Onchan at 12:53am.
For those heading in from Peel, your last bus is at 12:55am.
Taxis
Otherwise, there will be taxis about, take one of them, don’t be sick in them, don’t be a prick to the driver and just get home before being sick down yourself or associated loved ones.
