List: Oldham bus routes not operating due to shortages

Services run by Stotts and Vision are affected across Greater Manchester, with Oldham in particular affected by the Stotts driver shortages.

Stotts Buses runs some services and school buses in the borough.

Stotts apologised for the disruption on its X (formerly Twitter) page, blaming ‘staff shortages’.

The issue has been going on since last week, when services were cancelled due to the same reason.

Last week, Alison Chew, TfGM’s deputy director of bus, said: “We are aware that driver shortages are affecting a small number of bus services operated by Stotts this week, and we are working with them minimise the impact to passengers as much as possible.

“We apologise to anyone affected, and would urge customers to check our website for the latest information before you travel.”
