Bus Vannin has blamed a shortage of drivers for the cancellation of multiple bus services over the last few weeks.

It says the full service requires a total of 92 drivers but there are currently 10 vacancies for full-time drivers and this week eight were off work due to illness.

And last week, Infrastructure Minister Tim Crookall has admitted he doesn’t know how long the current disruption to bus services could continue.
