I was in Gloucester last week where a similar situation had occurred but Stagecoach were able to call on drivers from Cheltenham and Swindon depots for cover. Unfortunately a small operator has no such recourse.

Provided Avon can sort themselves out, and it looks as if they are doing, the Traffic Commissioner is unlikely to take any action at this stage.

Merseytravel do not pay for services that have failed to operate.
