(26 Sep 2021, 7:10 pm)BusLoverMum Apparently we are not short of fuel, yet we are short of fuel. Is this going to result in fewer, busier, buses running? I was planning a trip down to Darlo, this week, but not sure I dare, now.

Would've though bus travel should be ok for a while yet. They will prioritise supplies to critical industries, in just the same way they won't allow ambulances, police and fire to run dry. There have been reports of the Army being drafted in to drive tankers, which as short term fix should also mitigate some of the worst of the disruption.
