Over 30 Bus Services at Risk of Cancellation

Isle of Man Transport, part of the DoI, has announced that more than 30 bus services could be cancelled today due to high levels of sickness.

This comes as the gov announced it has been making plans for a contingency bus timetable that could be revealed next week.

The announcement was made on Facebook just minutes after it was announced Chris Thomas is the new DoI Minister.

As well as sickness, the gov is blaming ‘ongoing recruitment issues’ for the services being put at risk.

The Facebook post said: ‘Please note our essential services such as schools are fully sustained and the remaining 600 services today are unaffected.

‘Although our dedicated team are working exceptionally hard to deal with these problems, in the short term we know these issues will not be rectified quickly, so over the last few weeks we have been working on a contingency bus timetable. More information will be announced on this timetable in the next week.

‘In the meantime any services at risk of cancellations will be announced at 5.30pm each evening, to cover the next morning and then again at 10am to cover services until 5.30am.’
