First Glasgow cancels more services today due to 'national driver shortage'

People in the Greater Glasgow area intending to travel by bus are being warned of further cancellations by First Glasgow on some of their services.

The company has confirmed a host of short notice journey cancellations on services over the course of today (October 4), which they say is 'due to the current national driver shortage which is affecting all sectors'.

In announcing the disruption, First Glasgow wrote: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please do not take any issues out on our team who are at work and operating our other journeys – it's not their fault.
