Who's affected
Some school services only

All regular (non-school) route services will run as normal.

School services will still run on Thursday morning — but to keep every student moving, some school runs will be combined. This means some students may have a slightly earlier or later pick-up, a different pick-up location, or a short wait. Most delays are expected to be minimal.

Please find your area below to see what's changing for your route, and allow a little extra travel time on the day.
