A DIRECT bus service for young people from Buntingford to Stevenage will become a reality next week.
For months the Buntingford Youth Council has been looking at the possibility of arranging a bus to Stevenage Leisure Park.
The first service will leave Buntingford at 7.30pm next Tuesday, February 12, to coincide with the under-18s night at Liquid Nightclub.
Youth council clerk Jill Jones said: "This is a pilot scheme. If it's popular we will make it a regular service.
"People can just turn up on the night, but quite a few seats are already taken, so I would advise booking in advance."
The youth council had hoped that the bus service would start last November, but problems with getting consent forms meant the project was held up.
