Meanwhile, over the other side of the Pennines things aren't looking good at all for Rosso.
Greater Manchester bus operator cancels more than 800 services in just one week as they battle staff shortages
Pathetic excuse. If you're already having major issues with recruitment you don't take on a load more services. You'd have thought after the debacle with the Ribble County services they wouldn't make the same mistake again.
Greater Manchester bus operator cancels more than 800 services in just one week as they battle staff shortages
Passengers in Greater Manchester are at the losing end of a bus operator’s battle with staff shortages - with more than 800 journeys cancelled in just one week. Rosso, which runs routes predominantly in the north of the conurbation, axed 837 services between April 25 and May 1.
A spokesman for Rosso (Rossendale Transport Limited), a subsidiary of Transdev Blazefield, said they had operated 'at least 80 per cent' of their journeys last week, adding: "Which we apologise to our customers for - this falls far from our usual standards. It indicates the strength of the challenge our industry faces in terms of recruitment.
