STAGECOACH has made changes to several of its commercial services.

These are related to ongoing driver issues due to the pandemic and recruitment problems.

The expectation is that the reduced timetables will help minimise short-notice cancellations.

Services E1, E2 Exwick – City Centre: The daytime frequency is reduced to every 30 minutes on each route.
