RE: North West Bus Service Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak
Very disappointing that every other operator in the North West has managed to publicise revised timetables in this time of crisis with the one exception of Arriva. Very poor showing for a so called major operator, particularly as people’s livelihoods depend on this information. |

DOG this is a very intense fast moving situation which is ever changing. I daresay Arriva's info will be up imminently but there are things still happening. I feel it is best they announce modifications once accurately than jumping the gun and confusing people. This is such a unique event that has there has never been any contingency dreamt of. To be fair on Arriva they have the largest network locally to address. Also the department responsible for fire fighting this situation not only looks after North West and Wales but Yorkshire and the North East too so their work is majorly cut out. |

Though they do have the biggest network, you just split the work into smaller chunks so do it by the depot. The way I see it, the second some information is available and confirmed, put it online even if it only benefits a few people, its a few less people worrying about what is going on. All this said, I am by no means surprised as Arriva are 95% of the time very poor at giving details of changes to passengers. You are more likely to find out of a service change one the day when the bus doesn't turn up than you are to get information from Arriva. Why are staff sorting the NW&W Covid-19 situation also responsible for Yorkshire and North East? Is this another job role that Arriva have condensed into 1 small team? |

Please this is a case of life and death , can we stop bickering about what Arriva have and havent done , the information will be made available as soon as possible. Do be advised that these timetables may become obsolete as the situation goes on and further alterations may be needed . We could even on public health grounds end up with no bus service at all and this is not scaremongering . |

RE: North West Bus Service Changes due to Coronavirus outbreak
D&G Bus changes for Mon-Fri next week: Services 1, 1A, 2, 8A, 9, 14W, 32X, 42, 43, 88 and 89 will run to Saturday timetables. Service 16 will run to a Saturday timetable but the 1930 journey from Hanley to Leek and the 2015 journey from Leek to Hanley will not run. Services 8, 12, 14, 82, 85 and 94 will run to special timetables. Services 14A, 26, 33, 35, 50, 70, 71, 72, 73, 94A, 188, 288, 316, 317, 318, 319, 841 and the Handforth Dean Free Bus will operate to normal timetables. Services 8B, 38, 40, 130, 836 and X41 will not operate. Contract services 410, 445, CC5, CC8, GP1, S71194 and S80319 will operate to normal timetables. Contract services E1 and E2 will operate to the 2019/2020 winter route and timetable but the 0030 journey will not operate. The contracted service between Bunbury and Sir John Deane's College will not operate. Not sure what they mean about normal 188 timetable - given it's school days only and Knutsford Academy will be closed! Also disappointing that they not running the 130 at all and running the the 88 to a Saturday timetable, given those are buses serving Macclesfield Hospital and while non-essential operations are being cancelled and visiting is being reduced there will still be people who have out-patient appointments - some of whom may have requested a specific time to fit around the weekday bus timetables. It will also mean only 5 buses between the town centre and the hospital in each direction all day and obviously anyone from Wilmslow with an appointment to attend will have to go via Knutsford if they need to use the bus and those from Handforth and Alderley Edge will not have an easy journey to Macclesfield Hospital using public transport! |
