Key workers who require transport are advised to contact Call Connect.

In a statement, Brylaine Travel also said emergency timetables will be introduced across all services from today (Thursday).

It reads: “Due to continuing pressures we will no longer operate on the weekend, our services will only run Monday - Friday until further notice.

“All areas of our region will retain a service, albeit buses may not operate as frequently as they normally do.

“We have a strict cleaning regime implemented on our vehicles, but we ask that when you board you sit a seat apart, there is plenty of room to do this and travel within social distancing guidelines.

“There are no dedicated school and college buses as we have now been given advise to stand them down by the local authorities.

“If you are a key worker or vulnerable and you need transportation on any of our service routes over the weekend or on any of our dedicated school services, please contact Call Connect.”
