First bus has announced a further 141 journeys have been cancelled on Saturday as the company continues to struggle with driver shortages.

Passengers are facing a second day of major disruption to travel, with all but two routes in Aberdeen bearing the brunt of the shake-up.

It comes after the company cancelled 138 of its services yesterday.

First Bus has today listed further cancellations, which will impact routes 1/1B, 2, 3/3A, 11/11A, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 19, 23, 172 and X27.

The company reiterated their apology to customers and stressed their continuous efforts to maintain “as many services on the road as possible”.

Passengers have been urged to plan their journeys and check all the changes on the First Bus app, where they can find up-to-date information.

First bus service number 13 is one of the affected routes. Picture by Chris Sumner/DCT Media.

A First Bus spokesman confirmed the cancellations are due to the ongoing industry-wide driver shortages and added: “We are continuing to work hard to maintain as many services on the road as possible to ensure we continue to serve our customers throughout Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

“We wish to apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused by this disruption and would encourage everyone to utilise the First Bus App which is updated with all the latest information.”
