Nearly 20 bus services threatened with cancellation

Customers are encouraged to check Bus Vannin’s social media channels for updates

Nearly 20 bus services are at risk of not operating today, including several between Douglas and Port Erin this morning (October 3).

The disruption is due to a shortage of drivers while a recruitment campaign is underway.

Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall confirmed this week that it is unclear how long it will take for the situation to be resolved.

Isle of Man Transport has apologized to customers for the disruption and is urging them to keep informed on the Bus Vannin Facebook page.
