Stagecoach cancels Bristol bus services - latest on Tuesday, October 19, 2021

Buses in the Bristol area are once again being cancelled by Stagecoach West.

The bus company has, like many others, struggled to recruit drivers.

And it regularly has to withdraw services - not just in Bristol, but in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire as well.

On Tuesday, October 19, it said Bristol services are disrupted today and it is unable to run:

  • 6.15am: 462 Emerson Green-City
  • 07.02am: 3X City-Aztec West
  • 4.40pm: 13 Lewins Mead-Dursley Road
  • 7.10pm: 85 Wotton under edge-Yate Stover Rd
  • 5.05pm: 12 Govier Way-Aztec West

The bus company has blamed the pandemic and Brexit for a shortage of drivers. It is on a recruitment mission to get more drivers in place.

We will update this story if we learn of more cancellations.
