Although the advice to shield has ended, clinically extremely vulnerable people must continue to follow the rules that are in place for everyone."
The Track & Trace app is currently forcing a large number of bus drivers to self-isolate for a period of 7-10 days. This seems to have rapidly increased over the last week or so.
Arriva (who had the biggest staff shortage out of the three big operators) seemed to suffer with this first, but it’s now starting to have a real impact at Go North East and Stagecoach too.
Very sensible decision from Stagecoach.
