Bus Vannin has warned that almost 25 services could be cancelled today (Sunday) due to staff shortages and sickness.

Bus services across the island have been plagued by problems in the last couple of weeks.

Some 24 services could be hit today.

They include buses on routes 2, 2A, 3, 3A, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 12A.

Bus Vannin posted on its Facebook page: ‘The team continue to work hard to minimise the impact to service users.’

The operator says that that there are several vacancies while there are also a ‘number of long-term absentees’.

It says its timetable needs drivers to work overtime, particularly at weekends when it is not always possible to secure enough full-time or casual staff to run a full service.
