Southern buses to be scaled back on Sundays

Bus Vannin says the temporary measure is in response to the ongoing driver shortage

Bus routes serving the south of the Island are being reduced on Sundays as Bus Vannin continues to deal with a driver shortage.

The bus operator says it has seen an improvement in recent days but challenges remain.

As a result, services to and from the south will be temporarily scaled back to half hourly, with more details due to be published on the Bus Vannin website today.

The service says it's working through the recruitment of new staff and supporting the return to work of those currently absent.

All services are expected to operate as timetabled today.
