18/09/2020

It has been brought to our attention that 2 passengers that travel on our 999 service have tested positive for COVID-19.
We can assure parents that after every journey the buses are cleaned and disinfected. All our buses carry signs that say masks should be worn at all times, there is no standing and sanitizer is available for passenger use.
Unfortunately once some of the passengers have boarded they remove face masks while travelling but replace once they get to school.
We have done our best to cover the safety of our passengers but it is also up to our passengers to do their bit as well.
