Stagecoach bus services cancelled across Yorkshire in New Year as drivers go on indefinite strike

Stagecoach has announced buses in many parts of Yorkshire will be cancelled from January 1 - and it's not clear when services will be up and running again.

Stagecoach Yorkshire has confirmed bus drivers will take indefinite strike action in the New Year due to an ongoing pay dispute.

From January 1, 2022, a large number of bus services in Barnsley, Rotherham, Dearne Valley, and West Yorkshire will be cancelled.

Meanwhile, the strike will impact bus timetables in Sheffield from January 2, 2022.

Stagecoach stated that most services will not be running from these dates, with the exception of dedicated school buses.

In Sheffield, a limited service on a small number of routes will continue to run, with the timetable yet to be announced.

The company urged people to make alternative travel arrangements during this time.
