Coronavirus updates
In line with guidance from the government, our buses have started returning to what can be considered our ‘normal’ level of service. We have also worked hard to protect journeys introduced following customer feedback on key worker shift times at the start of the crisis.
Most services have returned to timetables that are similar to their pre-coronavirus times on weekdays. Frequencies on many evening services have been reduced due to the continued closure of leisure and entertainment venues and services on weekends are running to special timetables.
