RE: North West Bus Service Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak
Quite literally bus services are now down to essential frequencies in Merseyside. On the Wirral i think the service operated by Stagecoach is the Gold fleet of vehicles , am i right , with the exception of the 16/17. |

RE: North West Bus Service Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak
Government bails out bus firms to keep routes open: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52122342 As the article mentions at the bottom they can also furlough drivers so they can get 80% pay while putting drivers on leave due to a lack of work - the same as any other business which needs to reduce it's wage bill temporarily due to COVID-19. |

Furloughed drivers can not be used within 3 weeks of going on furlough though , so the bus companies have to be able to maintain service levels at the point the company put a furlough into place. Though cant see an upturn in the next three weeks can you ? |

There's rumours the lockdown will last until 31st May and even then there may be some restrictions in place for longer. Hence, bus companies can furlough drivers until 31st May and then if the lockdown gets lifted on 25th May they could recall them - as furlough can be terminated early and furloughed workers are still suppose to call in sick so that their employer is aware they can't be recalled until they recover from their illness. |

RE: North West Bus Service Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak
Transport authorities in North West starting to show their support for NHS and key workers. Anyone with a valid NHS staff photo pass can now travel for free on Arriva and Stagecoach buses in Merseyside, along with Merseyrail services, while in Greater Manchester, anyone with proof of employment in NHS can travel for free on Metrolink trams for work purposes. Additional, Vision Bus in Bolton are offering free travel for NHS workers on its services, while Andy Burnham (GM Mayor) works on free travel for other buses and trains. https://www.merseytravel.gov.uk/news/met...erseyrail/ https://tfgm.com/coronavirus/nhs |
