Temporary timetable changes from 23rd February

We want to inform you about some temporary timetable changes that will take effect on Sunday, February 23rd, 2025. These adjustments are necessary due to ongoing staffing shortages, which are affecting our ability to deliver our usual level of service.

We understand how punctual and reliable services are to you and are working hard to resolve these challenges. To help stabilise services in the short term, we are bringing in additional drivers from agencies and neighbouring depots. At the same time, we are making substantial progress with recruitment. A steady pipeline of new drivers is joining our team and undergoing training to get them on the road as quickly as possible. Combined with improved operational processes, these measures will help us provide a dependable service that you can rely on.

Please rest assured that these timetable adjustments are temporary, and we are committed to returning to normal service levels as soon as possible. Below are the details of the changes:

Beverley Road Lines: Service 44

Temporary Changes to Service:

• Most trips on Service 44 will be temporarily withdrawn, except for a few evening journeys.
