Service Update – 22nd February 2021

At present, we are continuing to operate an hourly service as per our Covid-19 timetable. Detailed timings can be found here.

The local authority have temporarily made concessionary passes valid for 24 hours a day up until Friday 26th February 2021. After this date, the validation will return back to normal. If any changes to this, we will keep you updated.

We are closely monitoring our passenger numbers daily to ensure passenger demand is met, and our service frequency can be altered accordingly. 

Passengers, please pay via contactless payment where possible, to reduce the amount of cash handling between passengers and drivers. Cash is accepted on board when necessary.

We have implemented social distancing measures on all our vehicles. Hand sanitizer is available when boarding and alighting our buses, along with yellow seat signs on allocated seats specifying “Social distancing in place. Please keep this seat clear!” We have implemented these on both the upper deck and lower deck to encourage passengers using our service to keep at a safe distance along their journey. We kindly ask all passengers to please keep all seats with a sign on clear.

Face coverings are a mandatory requirement on all forms of public transport, this includes our Air Decker service. Please ensure you board our vehicles with your face covering on, and keep this on for the duration of your journey. To aid this guideline we have temporarily suspended the consumption of food on all our vehicles.
