COASTLINER is making temporary changes to its bus timetable from Monday.

The company will be will be running to a Saturday timetable during Monday to Saturday, and normal Sunday timetables on Sundays.

The Monday to Friday journey to from York to FERA will continue as normal.

Coastliner journeys in and out of Leeds at rush hour will use the Saturday route rather than calling at New Briggate.

Alex Hornby, CEO of Coastliner, said: "My colleagues deal with difficult circumstances every day and we’re always proud and privileged to all work together in delivering great service to our customers. We’re all now living in an unprecedented time and I’m grateful for everything each member of the team here is doing to help keep buses on the road for people who need them. These include the drivers who you see every day and the many people you don’t see – such as our cleaning, engineering, planning, training and other support teams – all of whom are doing a fantastic job in the circumstances.

"We’ve been running all our buses as normal until now but as we see less people travelling and pressure on staffing increases, we have made the decision to change to Saturday times going forward. We trust everyone understands the reasons for this but note that we are maintaining the general span of the operating day and many frequencies are similar.

"Our aim remains is to get people where they need to be and, here at Transdev, know that we are all doing our best to carry on doing that."
