The Trossachs Explorer, which ran from July until last weekend, saw almost 6,000 passengers-a 15-per cent increase from the previous year.

This service offers a more sustainable travel option, helping to reduce congestion, ease parking pressures, and protect the National Park's environment by cutting down on car numbers, one of the largest sources of carbon emissions, during the busy summer season.
