More bus services at 'risk of cancellation'

Blamed on 'increased staff sickness'

More bus services are at risk of cancellation today (17 September).

It's said to be because of the knock-on effect of increased staff sickness.

The 2.14pm route 1h from Port Erin to the hospital and the 3.51pm route 1 from Nobles to Lord Street via Onchan could both be cancelled.

Bus Vannin has apologised for the inconvenience caused, and the team is continuing work hard to minimise the impact for service users.

It comes after a period of uncertainty for bus services on the Island. 

A recruitment drive is currently underway to try and plug the staffing gap being experienced.
