I do wonder how people on the 192 will cope. Down from every 3.3 minutes to every 5. Life changing for those people haha. I would have expected at least every 6 or 7.5 if the numbers are so down.

In fact, like all schools, they will remain open with very limited staff (except during the Easter holidays) so that the children of 'essential workers' can go there so their parents don't have to worry about taking time off for childcare arrangements.

Well, yes. I didn't think about that but the numbers using the school buses will be so few that the school buses may cease from next week. KEep them on for 1 week and see the loadings and go from there. Perhaps move to the school minibuses if there is a certified driver. Cheaper to pay for the school minibus for a few kids than a normal bus and driver.
