Stagecoach have suspended a busy bus route serving Newcastle city centre just weeks after the service was reinstated.
The 100 shuttlebus between Metrocentre and Newcastle city centre has been suspended again this month, with Stagecoach citing an ongoing national driver shortage as the reason behind the decision. Stagecoach told its customers that the situation had become "acutely worse" in the last few weeks.
The company apologised for any inconvenience caused, adding that the driver shortage has left them "desperately short" to cover current timetables. The temporary service suspension came into effect on June 20.
