More changes for Stagecoach bus services in Warwickshire

More changes are being made to Stagecoach bus services in Warwickshire.

On March 20 Stagecoach announced that it would be making changes to timetables which were due to come into place today (Monday March 30).

Now the bus operator has announced more changes following further restrictions on movements announced by the Government.

A spokesperson from Stagecoach said: "Following the Prime Ministers announcement imposing further restrictions on movements on Monday March 23, we have had to review the services that were due to come into effect from March 30.

"Instead, we will run a level of service similar to Sundays with additional journeys added early morning and in the evening to cater for NHS staff and key worker shift patterns.

"We will also run a limited service in areas that don’t have Sunday routes to avoid areas being cut off.

"In line with the Prime Minister’s announcements we would ask our customers to only travel if essential for them to do so."
